Here are the excerpts:

1. What are your business strategies in 皇冠体育app as you readjust to the new Chinese economic policies and realities like the New Normal and the Internet Plus initiatives?

Our primary strategy in 皇冠体育app is part of our overall company strategy, which is to continue the transformation we are carrying out across our businesses to be the productivity and platform company that empowers every individual and every organization on the planet to achieve more.

During the first six months this year, GDP growth has fallen to 7 percent, while deflation pressures have risen in the manufacturing sector. Against this backdrop, what are the challenges that you have faced and continue to face in 皇冠体育app, especially with regard to the business development strategy and operations?

Microsoft has great confidence in the potential of 皇冠体育app's economy, the world's second–largest economy, as it settles into the "New Normal" of slower but more sustainable economic growth. 皇冠体育app is undergoing transformation and upgrading across all industries, with emerging businesses demanding cost-effective technologies that allow them to focus on innovation and growth, while traditional businesses are looking for solutions that can enable their transformation by integrating with their existing resources.

3. How will Microsoft take advantage of the Internet Plus Initiative to further promote the expansion in 皇冠体育app market?

As 皇冠体育app's economy is transforming and upgrading, Microsoft is also transforming as a solutions provider that is dedicated to facilitating the implementation of the Internet Plus Initiative. Cloud will be a major facet of this process, as cloud computing serves as a highway connecting businesses with IT.

Meanwhile the core intellectual property of any business going forward will be its data. The way to take advantage of this data is by converting it into intelligence, or more importantly, intelligent action. Microsoft provides an intelligent cloud platform with a full range of offerings such as big data solutions, artificial intelligence applications and IoT (Internet of Things) services to help businesses increase productivity and efficiency.
