Microsoft says it will shut down career-oriented social network LinkedIn in China, citing a challenging operating environment as Beijing tightens control over tech firms.
Senior vice president of engineering Mohak Shroff says the US-based company will replace LinkedIn in China with an application dedicated to applying for jobs but without the networking features.
The Wall Street Journal says LinkedIn was given a deadline by Chinese internet regulators to better oversee content on the site.
Chinese authorities have been targeting a range of homegrown tech behemoths for alleged monopolistic practices and aggressive harvesting of consumer data.
