China wants to take over your Xbox
The Cyberguy, Kurt Knutsson, discussed how Microsoft is set to have ten thousand employees in China and warns about rogue fraudulent apps on phone app stores, on'Fox & Friends Weekend.' Microsoft is buying Activision Blizzard – the video game company behind titles like "Guitar Hero," "Candy Crush," "World of Warcraft" and "Call of Duty" – in the largest tech acquisitions in history. Antitrust regulators are assessing whether the deal could hurt competition in the booming global video game industry, for numerous reasons including the fact that Microsoft already produces the widely used Xbox gaming console. Further consolidation in the tech industry elicits well deserved skepticism from regulators, but they should also consider how this deal could help America's greatest geopolitical adversary: China. To understand how, it's first important to understand Microsoft's long and close relationship with the People's Republic of China and its ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Microsoft has operated in China for three decades, boasting on its website that its "most complete subsidiary and largest R&D center outside the United States is in China."
