Honest question: are you suggesting that microsoft buying github makes it harder for the Chinese government to access the servers?


No (well ultimately yes, but not the point)- it's easier for US govt access. China doesn't trust that for its users, whether right or wrong.


Thanks for the clarification, that makes more sense.

Personally, I would think microsoft would be easier to "motivate" to share given they probably have more investments in china which could be used as leverage.
