Σε μια συνέντευξη που προβλήθηκε στο τηλεοπτικό κανάλι της Κίνας CCTV, τοπικοί εμπειρογνώμονες πληροφορικής εξήγησαν ότι τα Windows 8 θα μπορούσαν πράγματι να είναι μια σημαντική απειλή για τη χώρα, γιατί κρύβουν backdoors που μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν αργότερα από τις αμερικανικές μυστικές υπηρεσίες και τη to intercept state secrets and other stored records.

At the same time, Microsoft was accused of not allowing the Chinese government access to the Windows 8 source code, so they cannot detect whether it is actually hiding or not.

"Microsoft is no longer opening the Windows 8 source code to the Chinese government, however, the Windows 8 security system is designed to provide Microsoft access to the user database. For China, it is a major cyber security challenge us," Yang Min, a professor at China's Fudan University, told The Register.

Chinese IT experts argue that Windows 8 can obviously be used to provide access to all kinds of files, such as contacts, phone numbers, and user IDs.

"Η ταυτότητά σας, ο λογαριασμός σας, οι επαφές σας, οι αριθμοί τηλεφώνου σας, και όλα αυτά τα δεδομένα μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθούν μαζί για μια δεδομένων", πρόσθεσε ο Ni Guangnam, ένας άλλος ειδικός. "Οι ΗΠΑ έχει νομοθεσία που επιτρέπει σε αυτούς που έχουν τα δεδομένα να αναφέρουν στην κυβέρνηση. Τα δεδομένα μπορεί να είναι ένας πολύ καλός τρόπος για να παρακολουθούν οι ΗΠΑ τις άλλες ."

Microsoft has already issued an announcement on this issue, explaining that Windows 8 can be thoroughly analyzed by the Chinese government and that there are no hidden backdoors in the software.
