US Army Warns 2 China Curbs Could Jeopardize Defense Data Centers
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 5
Summary
Two draft congressional proposals could hinder Defense Department data centers on military bases, with the Army warning they may slow or jeopardize planned construction as computing demand rises.
A senior Army official said the measures would tighten oversight and restrict Chinese-sourced equipment, but some required components are not yet made by the domestic industrial base.
The warning highlights a clash between Washington’s push to cut China-linked technology from sensitive systems and the Pentagon’s need to rapidly expand computing capacity.
