Zoom never asked anyone to conduct their top secret official meeting on its platform. China has very large infrastructure to host several large data centers of many global tech companies and all datacenters and servers aggregate resources to provide uniform universal services.
Zoom of course had not been tested or even questioned ever by authorities because it was never a significant service provider. But Covid made it gain sudden huge popularity. They are doing improvements to manage user concerns as we see.
Large US companies like Microsoft which have been left sulking could be happy if zoom is targeted. And China is good tool to beat any trust. Zoom is only service of convenience and not known for tight security. But sudden jerk of corona left us with no choice but to use whatever was available. I would have preferred Microsoft Meet over zoom but for ease of convenience of zoom. Zoom is great so far we know that you don’t have to reveal your secrets out there.
Though Big US companies would always look for China connections in competitions to reclaim lost ground. Ignore them. It’s US which is worried to let slip away its monopoly and it is after anything non-US. Of course Defence Minister could have been careful.
