Microsoft China denied it would cease operations in the country,loincloth eroticism after a screenshot of an internal email from Wicresoft, a Microsoft outsourcing partner, fueled speculation about a potential exit. On Monday, several employees of Wicresoft shared screenshots of layoff emails on social media. The email cites geopolitical tensions and shifts in the global business landscape as reasons for a strategic realignment, stating that the company will cease operations in the China region starting April 8, impacting around 2,000 employees. The reported shutdown involves the China-based Microsoft project team under Wicresoft, rather than Microsoft China itself. Founded in 2002, Wicresoft is an outsourcing company that provides digital transformation services and is Microsoft China’s largest external service provider. [Jiemian, in Chinese]
