Business social network LinkedIn has scrapped its latest app available in China, while its owner Microsoft attributed the decision to "fierce competition and a difficult macroeconomic environment." Microsoft was one of the few U.S. internet companies to successfully impose a social network in China, despite censorship by authorities and strict local rules. In China, Microsoft was offering a certain version of LinkedIn by complying with these strict rules. In 2021, the company discontinued LinkedIn in mainland China, citing a "challenging operating environment" and "additional regulatory compliance requirements."
