| Abstract: | Microsoft established the Microsoft China Research Inst itute in 1998, after first entering the Chinese market in 1992. By 2001, the institute had grown into Microsoft Research Asia, the U.S. tech company's largest overseas research facility. In the same year, China joined the World Trade Organization (WTO), despite controversies that the entry would pose challenges within the domestic market. Since then, two decades of success have proved both China and Microsoft have chosen the right paths. |
