Reuters has a report on Microsoft's decision to invest a large amount of money in China:
BEIJING (Reuters) - Software giant Microsoft Corp, in an unprecedented commitment to a market that has often confounded it, said on Thursday it would invest $750 million in China over the next three years.
Software piracy is rampant in China and Microsoft has long complained that a lack of enforcement of intellectual property rights has stunted development of a homegrown software industry.
"As the Chinese government focuses in on the development of the local IT industry and its ability to export, having a good domestic market for those local Chinese companies to do intellectual property development is even more important," he said. "I think that is as clearly understood by Premier Zhu (Rongji) and the senior people I've met with as anything is."
As strange as it seems, can Microsoft make morals? Read the story here.
