Chinese spies are being planted in some of America's biggest companies to steal 'sensitive information'

Daily Mail  

China is placing corporate spies into Microsoft and other major American companies posing a huge national security threat DailyMail.com can reveal. A new law that went into effect in China on July 1 mandates that foreign companies in the country with 300 or more employees must delegate an 'employee representative' to their Beijing-based affiliate's board of directors. An aide from the House of Representatives told DailyMail.com that China's new restrictions could present a security risk to U.S. companies 'Once you’re on the board, you are privy to all sorts of incredibly sensitive information, incredibly sensitive decision-making and you can exert a substantial amount of pressure on the people that are on the ground in China,' the source told DailyMail.com. A man walks past Microsoft's local headquarters in Beijing on July 20, 2021, the day after the US accused Beijing of carrying out the cyber attack on Microsoft and charged four Chinese nationals over the "malicious" hack The House aide stressed that large multinational American corporations like Microsoft could be targeted under the new Chinese law 'If one day they want to exert pressure on Microsoft or any of the many other multinational companies that operate there, they know who to call,' the House source said.
