Amid escalating US-China tensions, Microsoft urges 700-800 machine learning and cloud computing employees in China to relocate.

The employees, primarily Chinese engineers, are encouraged to move to the US, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.

This decision is in response to heightened trade restrictions and concerns over China's access to advanced AI technology.

Employees have until early June to decide on their relocation.

Microsoft's move highlights efforts to navigate geopolitical challenges while maintaining a global presence.

Despite complexities, Microsoft remains committed to operating in China and other markets.
