LinkedIn Pauses New Sign-Ups in China To Review Compliance (bloomberg.com) 9
Microsoft's professional networking site LinkedIn is pausing new member sign-ups for its service in China while it works to ensure it's in compliance with local law. From a report: "We're a global platform with an obligation to respect the laws that apply to us, including adhering to Chinese government regulations for our localized version of LinkedIn in China," the company said in a statement Tuesday. LinkedIn, which entered China in 2014, is one of the few U.S. social networking companies allowed in the country as it has agreed to restrict some content to adhere to state censorship rules. Currently, the service has 52 million users in Mainland China.

China unleashed a pandemic on the world by ignoring it for many months (including over the Chinese new year of 2020 where nearly the entire country travels) and then they tried to cover up that it came from Wuhan. Denied W.H.O. access for a year while they cleared their tracks. Lies completely about their number of infected, like they lie about most other statistics.
It is a country where it was illegal to have a brother or sister for 36 years, still illegal to have two siblings, and most people still don't know about the Tiananmen Square Massacre that happened over 30 years ago. A country that uses western social media and publishing platforms for propaganda but has it blocked and forbidden for its citizens. Anyone you see on YouTube is 100% paid by or approved by the CCP or they would get arrested.
China's government is still the same people that set the rules during the Great Leap Backward ~1960, which caused mass starvation. And now they lift "people out of poverty" (that they put there) by lowering the definition of what poverty is. China did not respect that Hong-Kong was supposed to be able to do their own thing for 50 years after 1997 and China pretends that Taiwan is not its own country (it most certainly is). China has even held drills where they practice invading Taiwan.
How about not catering to every demand of such a country so that they feel some pressure to change their ways? If you operate in China they will just try to steal your technology anyway. Did you know that by law you must partner with a Chinese company if you want to operate in China? And by law, if beyond a certain size your company must have a CCP depertment/branch. It's so they get easier access to your inner workings.
