Lawmaker Seeks Details on Microsoft, Chinese Engineers

A US lawmaker is asking the Defense Department for more information about what Microsoft shared with Chinese engineers.

Microsoft used to have engineers from China helping the US military with cloud computing, but they stopped this practice.

The Chinese engineers worked under the watch of US supervisors.

The lawmaker is concerned that the current rules might not protect the US from cyber threats.

He wants to know exactly what information the Chinese engineers had access to and if Microsoft checked their work.

The lawmaker is worried about potential security problems and wants to make sure other companies aren't doing the same thing.
