LinkedIn to end its network service in China

Published October 15, 2021 at 12:33 PM CDT

The networking site LinkedIn will end its service in China. The company made the announcement on Thursday and pointed to a “significantly more challenging operating environment” in China, which censors the internet.

LinkedIn will now focus on a new app in China, with only job postings — no commenting or sharing.
