Microsoft Awakens in China

If you want a quick rundown on Microsoft’s investments in China, you can get it with this Reuters piece, which ran on ZDNet this week.

Apparently, Microsoft has finally begun investing in China-based operations three years after proclaiming intentions to invest 6.2 billion yuan in the country. On Monday it announced that it and International Finance, the World Bank’s private sector arm, would jointly invest $35 million in ChinaSoft International, which does software work in the areas of government, e-business and systems integration.
