"Do with China, for China" is the way forward for US software titan Microsoft. The tech giant has had a rough time in China over the last couple of years. It was one of several foreign firms facing anti-trust investigations, and raids were conducted on its offices in 2014 relating to a 2008 anti-monopoly law. But now, a new wind seems to be blowing."China today has one of the most structured and clearest developments plans, leveraging technology and innovation," Microsoft Corporate Vice President, Chairman and CEO of the Greater China Region, Alain Crozier, told CGTN in an interview at the multinational's Beijing headquarters. "Microsoft is a company that in China has decided to build a very strong partnership with the Chinese government."
Microsoft is one of several foreign firms to have come under scrutiny as China seeks to enforce a 2008 anti-monopoly law, which some critics say is being used to unfairly target overseas businesses.
The State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC), one of China's anti-monopoly regulators, conducted raids on Microsoft in mid-2014 relating to the anti-trust probe.
"It's very important that we have a global discussion, keep pushing also Chinese companies to look at the broader picture and going international is definitely something that the Chinese government needs to keep doing," Crozier said.
"We are a big player, we can help those companies also expand internationally, and we can also help in the Internet innovation debate in a big way," Crozier added.The company's biggest R&D facility outside the US is in China. In 2015, Microsoft announced a joint venture with China Electronics Technology Group to provide the Chinese government and civil service with Windows 10.
