Microsoft CEO says no China exit
Microsoft Corp has no plans to pull out of China, its chief executive said on Thursday, playing down concerns about recent cyber-attacks and censorship raised by rival Google Inc.
"There are attacks every day. I don't think there was anything unusual, so I don't understand," Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer told Reuters after a meeting on modernizing government services at the White House.
"We're attacked every day from all parts of the world and I think everybody else is too. We didn't see anything out of the ordinary." On Tuesday, Google threatened to pull out of China -- the world's biggest Internet market by users -- citing censorship and cyber-attacks on rights activists' email accounts there.
