Yahoo has stood out in the Internet industry with a unique business mindset, and it is also the first Internet giant to reach a market value of 100 billion yuan and find an Internet business model.
Yahoo's Yahoo Mailbox is considered by many Chinese netizens to be the first window to contact the Internet.
Just recently, Yahoo China's official website issued an announcement that it officially stopped all services in Chinese mainland on November 1.
In addition, it said this would not affect Yahoo's products and services in other parts of the world.
Since then, Chinese mainland users will only be able to access it from Yahoo Mail, Online Mail, and Privacy Meter Edition.
Meanwhile, Yahoo's weather app and the Chinese version of the news page tech media engadget are inaccessible.
It is understood that Yahoo was once the world's first portal search website, providing diversified network services for more than 500 million independent users around the world, and has its own business in 24 countries and regions.
Yahoo launched its China website in September 1999 and was wholly owned by Alibaba Group in August 2005.
Judging from the public reports of many media before, Yahoo's withdrawal from China this time is not surprising.
In 2013, China Yahoo Mail, Information and Community announced that it would cease service.
In 2015, Yahoo closed its research and development center in Beijing and slashed hundreds of employees.
Until November 2021, Yahoo officially announced its withdrawal from the Chinese market.
At this point, Yahoo's development path in China has come to an end.
For the closure of Yahoo China, some ashes-level netizens with more than 20 years of internet age said: This is the tears of the times, and it is certainly not strange.
But some netizens said: I thought I had quit China a long time ago.
Of course, there are more netizens who have said: not used.
Yahoo China may not have any contemporary feelings for the young people of the current generation.
Because in the face of China's internet companies with rapid cash development, Yahoo's business in China has become less competitive.
At the same time, the U.S. company itself has also suffered operational difficulties, such as a continuous decline in stock prices in 2015 and a sale of its core business to U.S. communications giant Verizon in 2017. At that time, many Western media reported on the fall of Yahoo.
