China somehow got through COVID without MS Teams but – phew! – it's arrived
a local version of Teams in October 2022, and on April 1 it delivered. No, really, it did.
As is the case with Azure in China, Microsoft does not run this service: that job goes to its local partner, 21Vianet. The debut of Teams in China means 21Vianet has also changed from offering Office 365 to the full Microsoft 365 service.of Teams' debut in China offers the usual rah-rah about the product's powers.
Many Chinese organizations probably have an inkling of how Teams works. Local web giant Tencent has over 200 million users for its VooV collaboration service and Alibaba has at least 15 million paid users on its DingTalk platform.But it's starting a long way behind its local rivals in China. And doing so at a time when US/China relations are at a low ebb means local sentiment does not make shopping from overseas suppliers a popular option.
