Still, Yahoo\u2019s exit is a reminder of the increasing challenges foreign companies face in operating in China, including tighter data security and privacy regulation, geopolitical tensions and tough Covid-19-related rules.<\/p>\n<p>[\u2026] On Tuesday, Chinese internet users browsing websites run by Yahoo such as AOL.com, and media outlets TechCrunch and Engadget, were told that Yahoo\u2019s services will no longer be accessible from mainland China. Chinese users of apps such as Yahoo Weather also received prompts beginning in October that the apps would be discontinued from Monday.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Applecensorship.com, a website run by anonymous anticensorship activist group GreatFire, showed other Yahoo apps such as Yahoo Finance and Yahoo Mail had been unavailable on Apple\u2019s China app store as early as Oct 14. The company\u2019s platforms aren\u2019t widely used by regular Chinese citizens.

In 2005, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2005\/09\/08\/business\/worldbusiness\/yahoo-helped-chinese-to-prosecute-journalist.html\">Chinese journalist Shi Tao was sentenced to 10 years in prison<\/a> for \u201csharing state secrets\u201d after Yahoo divulged his personal data to Beijing police. <a href=\"https:\/\/chinadigitaltimes.net\/2012\/08\/yahoo-dissident-wang-xiaoning-to-be-released-on-friday\/\">Approximately 60 others were similarly prosecuted<\/a> after Yahoo shared their personal information with Chinese police. In 2007, it came to light that <a href=\"https:\/\/chinadigitaltimes.net\/2007\/07\/shi-taos-case-yahoo-knew-more-than-they-claimed-rebecca-mackinnon\/\">Yahoo knew the police were investigating users for supposedly revealing \u201cstate secrets,<\/a>\u201d even though Yahoo executives had testified before the United States Congress that they were unaware of the nature of the investigation. After criticism from Congress, Yahoo set up a fund to support the dissidents it had endangered\u2014only to later be <a href=\"https:\/\/chinadigitaltimes.net\/2017\/04\/yahoo-sued-support-fund-dissidents\/\">sued by said dissidents for mismanaging the funds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its irrelevance and missteps, Yahoo\u2019s departure is indicative of the increasingly adverse environment for foreign businesses in China. The massively popular video game <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2021\/11\/01\/epic-pulls-plug-on-fortnite-in-china\/\">Fortnite announced its withdrawal from China<\/a> on the same day Yahoo did. The game&#8217;s local test version was pulled on the heels of <a href=\"https:\/\/chinadigitaltimes.net\/2021\/09\/china-restricts-minors-to-three-hours-of-online-gaming-per-week\/\">severe new restrictions<\/a> put on minors&#8217; video game hours and the <a href=\"https:\/\/chinadigitaltimes.net\/2021\/10\/chinas-latest-school-reform-law-puts-the-onus-on-parents-to-reduce-student-burnout\/\">introduction of potential legal repercussions<\/a> for the parents of video game-addicted children. In 2014, <a href=\"https:\/\/finance.yahoo.com\/news\/fortnite-shutting-down-china-141000533.html\">Tencent invested $330 million into Epic Games<\/a>, the maker of Fortnite.
