The John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (NDAA 2019) also specifies restrictions for companies wishing to do business with the Defense De3partment. Products from three specific companies were banned, for example. However, there was also language about not being dependent on services "owned by, controlled by or connected to" the government of China. What does this mean for MS?
