Microsoft Nearly Left China. AI Gave It a Reason to Stay

Microsoft Nearly Left China. AI Gave It a Reason to Stay

Published by Webster

Microsoft has spent years retreating from China. AI may be a reason it does not leave entirely. Reuters reports that the company has closed at least 15 offices and joint ventures in China and came close to executing a complete exit in 2023, as geopolitical tensions, tighter Chinese technology policies, and U.S. export controls have made the market increasingly difficult to serve. However, Microsoft has found a narrower opportunity in the same market: selling Azure cloud and AI services to Chinese companies with international operations, including ByteDance. That shift changes what Microsoft’s China strategy looks like. Rather than trying to remain a major foreign software provider in China’s domestic market, Microsoft is increasingly using its cloud platform and access to Western AI models to serve Chinese companies that need technology for their businesses outside the country. That business model, too, isn’t entirely immune to the problems that led the company to want to leave, leaving Microsoft in an unusually sensitive spot. Microsoft is facing pressure from two sides Microsoft’s office closures are not just about …

Dvorkovich’s name was added to the European Union’s 21st sanctions package, which was issued in connection with Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, and imposes measures against 170 entities and 48 individuals such as freezing assets, travel and transaction bans. Hit with the sanctions, Dvorkovich, who had been Russia’s deputy prime minister before he took over the FIDE presidency, opted to step aside. In written comments shared with The Indian Express, Dvorkovich slammed the sanctions and questioned their timing. “The sanctions are completely unjustified, unfair and based on political characterisations rather than a proper assessment of my personal and professional conduct,” Dvorkovich said. “The only reason for sanctions is to prevent me from running and serving for FIDE. I reject political allegations being presented as an established fact and will challenge them through every …
