They are making accusations on China based on "educated" guesswork. The smoking gun is missing to "prove" provenance and attribution. In fact that is incredibly hard to prove. In Stuxnet for example, the alleged perpetrators hinted that they were behind it. Will the same countries and allies now condemn known, disclosed and proven cyberattacks sourced from other countries (with known state involvement and complicity) on activists and journalists that lead to imprisonment and death? And Microsoft has a very long history of vulnerabilities and hiding it. And then they will refuse to patch known vulnerabilities in lower versioned software trying to force large customers to do unwanted version upgrades and to adopt the more expensive SaaS offerings. They are now trying to force all customers off of the already paid for and cheaper on-prem Microsoft Exchange which is still the dominant software in the directory services market and trying to get all corporates onto Azure AD.
