As we all know, LinkedIn has gained all popularity in India, as it works for career-oriented social networking platforms. From steward to coach hire, teacher to principal hiring, executives to CEO hiring, LinkedIn plays a significant role in it, and it’s been a globally accepted site to go on apart from China.
As Microsoft shutting down LinkedIn in China, we don’t know the exact reason, but yes, there should be a valid and massive reason that leads to such things as there will be a tremendous destructive loss for the Chinese govt.
Below is the reason we able to find are as follows
1. Linkedin is in the pipeline to launch a job-only version of the site called In jobs.
2. career networking sites faced questions for blocking the profile of some journalists.

News website last month reported that LinkedIn had banned several US journalists and academic profiles through its Chinese platform, which contains information, and china considers it compassionate city prohibited content.
The Company said in March said it would pause new member sign-ups on LinkedIn China because of unspecified regulatory issues. In May, China’s internet watchdog said it had found LinkedIn and Microsoft’s Bing search engine, and about 100 other apps were engaged in the improper collection and use of data and ordered them to fix the problem.
“Several scholars this year also reported getting warning letters from LinkedIn that they were sharing “prohibited content” that would not be made viewable in China but could still be seen by Linked-In users elsewhere.”
In June, Tony Lee, a scholar at Berlin’s Free University, told the AP that LinkedIn didn’t tell him which content was prohibited but said it was tied to the section of his profile where he listed his publications.
Among his listed articles was one about the 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square and comparing Chinese leader Xi Jinping with former leader Mao Zedong.
