LinkedIn is shutting down its China platform because of a 'challenging operating environment'
CNN
LinkedIn will shut down the local version of its service in China, marking a significant retreat for one of the few large US tech firms still operating in the country.
The career networking platform, owned by Microsoft (MSFT), made the decision because of a "significantly more challenging operating environment and greater compliance requirements in China," Mohak Shroff, senior vice president of engineering at LinkedIn, said in a blog post Thursday.
The company will instead roll out a new platform called InJobs later this year, a China-only portal that will "not include a social feed or the ability to share posts or articles" but simply serve as a portal to list and apply for jobs.
