New York (CNN Business) Yahoo has shut down access to its services in China, becoming the latest American tech company to exit the country. It pulled the plug "in recognition of the increasingly challenging business and legal environment," a Yahoo spokesperson said in a statement. We thank our users for their support." Access to many of Yahoo's features in China have disappeared since 2013, including email and news. Microsoft's MSFT Yahoo joinsLinkedIn social network, which announced last month that it would leave China because of a "significantly more challenging operating environment and greater compliance requirements in China."
