Defense Officials Slam Google

Top Defense Officials Slam Google for Providing 'Direct Benefit' to China's Military - Townhall

Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said during a Senate Armed Services Committee Thursday that Google is helping China's military more than it is helping America's military. "The work that Google is doing in China is indirectly benefiting the Chinese military," Dunford said.

"We watch with great concern when industry partners work in China knowing that there is that indirect benefit. Frankly, 'indirect' may be not a full characterization of the way it really is, it is more of a direct benefit to the Chinese military."

Alarmed by what Dunford had told the committee, Republican Sen. Josh Hawley summarized the top general's point: "We have an American company that does not want to do work with our Defense Department, which is one thing, but they're happy to help the Chinese, at least the Chinese government that is, the Chinese military, at least indirectly. I think that's just extraordinary," he said.

May Google remove these Chinese who are supporting their military from their employment. We cannot allow an enemy government to be advantaged by American companies abroad. May not only Google, but all companies, scrutinize their employees carefully for connections with agencies opposed to the well-being of our nation and its interests.
