America's top two defense officials slammed Google's work with China on Thursday saying it has 'indirectly benefited' Beijing's military.
WASHINGTON — America's top two defense officials slammed Google's work with China on Thursday saying it has"indirectly benefited" Beijing's military.
In October, Google said it would no longer compete for the Pentagon's Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI, cloud computing contract, an award that could be worth $10 billion. The tech company said that the contract may conflict with its corporate values. In addition, Google also said it would not renew a Pentagon contract that analyzed aerial drone imagery for the military.
"The talent is in this country, we need to use the talent in this country and the talent in this country needs to support our great power competition," Shanahan added. For the Pentagon, there is no better example of Navarro's comments than the most expensive U.S. weapons system: the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
While the U.S.-made Lockheed Martin jets are believed to have better computer software, more sophisticated sensors and sensitive stealth coating, the theft of intellectual property gives adversaries the opportunity to avoid the expense and delays involved with research and development.
