Yahoo Pulling Out of China

The Yahoo portal in China contains a farewell message citing adjustments to its operations strategy as the reason for the change.  Yahoo’s news and community services have shut down in China, following the closure of its email service last month.  The Yahoo China home page now redirects users to a site run by Alibaba, which manages Yahoo’s Chinese operation.

In a farewell message which appears before the redirect, the firm says it is “adjusting its operations strategy”.  It also implies that its staff will be working on Alibaba content instead and thanks users for their support.  Yahoo has yet to comment.
