Yes the US lies that these US companies are important to China. They're leaving because their business is poor in China. They're irrelevant or there's some other Chinese platform that Chinese use instead. Plus don't mention their links to China has become more precarious due to new anti-China US laws and not because of the environment in China. The most racist American wants to money off of China whether its from enslaving people to anything else. The reason why they would leave China is because they're not making the money. Again they want to believe every country in the world wants a "prestigious" American company in their country because if they're there, it must mean their country is important.

"Talent is critical to innovation, and America’s deep pool of skilled scientists and engineers is a key component of its technological primacy. But today, for the first time in decades, U.S. leadership is under serious threat. Reaping the fruits of significant long-term investments, China’s supply of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) talent now rivals that of the United States, both in terms of quantity and quality. Given current trends, it is inevitable that China will overtake the United States in purely domestic terms—if it has not done so already."

China probably forced LinkedIn to store the data in China. As they should. It stores basically a list of every subscriber's job history. You can just imagine the uses it can have either to recruit spies or do targeted hits. Something like this compared to TikTok who the US forced to store the data in the US. Well I think it is even worse than TikTok which stores short videos of mostly useless stuff.

They should have taken a lesson from the US playbook and forced Microsoft to sell their China operations to a Chinese company.

I have been following the issues of Linkedin in China for some time now. The data of Chinese users was already being stored in China that's how they were able to operate for so long there. So data wasn't the issue.

The issue was of moderation . China hawks used to misuse the platform knowing very well their comments would've to be deleted by Mods. The hawks then used to raise this issue in US legislatures where Microsoft was being accused of "censorship".

Microsoft thought that the hassle and bad press was not worth it & decided to shut down the global version there. The underwhelming revenue also made the decision easy.
