The same group was behind the SolarWinds hack, which accessed sensitive federal information from multiple government departments. Microsoft's top scientist reported to Congress earlier this year that "China's domestic use of AI is a chilling precedent for anyone around the world who cherishes individual liberty."
Two days after a major breach of Microsoft systems by Chinese hackers in March, Microsoft announced it would expand its cloud computing services in China...
