Microsoft shuts down localized version of LinkedIn in China

Microsoft has decided to shut down its localized version of LinkedIn in China, stating that it will launch a new standalone jobs application InJobs later this year in the country.

“Our decision to launch a localized version of LinkedIn in China in February 2014 was driven by our mission to connect the world’s professionals to make them more productive and successful,” said the company in a blog post on Thursday.
