Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) thinks it is “long past time” that the Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal agencies stop doing business with consulting firms such as McKinsey & Co. that also have contracts with elements of the Chinese regime.

“The fact that these consultants are awarded huge contracts by our Defense Department and other federal agencies, while they are simultaneously working to advance China’s efforts to coerce the United States is appalling and completely unacceptable,” Hawley said in a July 18 statement.
