Report: Chinese Ties to US Tech Firms put Federal Supply Chain at Risk

The U.S.–China Commission report, produced with Interos Solutions, warns that partnerships and supplier relationships between major U.S. technology vendors and Chinese state-owned enterprises create significant supply-chain cybersecurity risks to the federal government. The analysis highlights cloud and software as emerging battlegrounds, details vendor ties (VMware/Sugon, Dell, Microsoft and component suppliers), calls out potential espionage or firmware/software compromise vectors, and recommends a national, centralized supply-chain risk management strategy and policy actions to mitigate exposure.
