"China based engineers" != "Chinese spy"

Yes because that's the biggest problem with Microsoft right there, their Chinese engineers.

in which U.S. personnel with security clearances supervise foreign engineers, including those in China.
From the security clearance perspective there really isn't any difference between China based engineers, Chinese spies, and Joe America accessing classified code without being cleared by the DoD.
If an individual did this "escort" scheme, they would be arrested.

Someone should warn them that the use of Fox News puppets to lead government departments is not only a breach of trust, but also makes the country more vulnerable.

I have been held at gunpoint by a giggling marine because I was escorted through a door I shouldn’t have been.
I had the necessary clearance and access but I wasn’t read in or scheduled and despite it not being my fault I was still held until I was cleared to not be.

The supervisors did not have the expertise to know what the foreign workers were doing, otherwise there would not have had to be 2 workers in the first place. And the foreign workers were not just writing code - they were doing sysadmin. On DoD systems.
I don't know how to make any more clear to you but it's completely obvious to anyone that actually understands these things that this was terrible opsec, and obviously not how any reasonable person would expect a DoD contract to be managed.

If that's the case, then the work should be in house

I have a weird take whenever stuff like this comes up but its in my humble opinion that world governments shouldn't rely on corporate developed software or even maybe hardware.
This is definitely hindsight is always 20/20 sort of thinking but governments should have long ago realized that trusting the likes of Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, etc. would leave them reliant on their innovations and also subject to their whims, mistakes, and more.
Basically I'm saying World governments all need their own internal OS developed and maintained internally by an official subdivision of said governments, and maybe even a separate branch developing internally utilized hardware.
Never gonna happen, and I'm sure there are issues with this solution, but its a hypothetical I think about whenever something tech related and the government comes up in the news, which is pretty much every day now.

Well, I would suppose that a government, if it really want, have more than one way to solve this problem, it is not a small business that can't fight back. And it can fight back in more ways than just "I will switch vendor"

Yes, but it would be a nightmare to communicate even with your allies if everyone has a different OS running on differen hardware since at some point you will need to communicate with someone.
