Say aloha, sayonara or whatever they say in Chinese because Yahoo is removing the last vestige of its presence in China. The company is closing its R&D center in Beijing, the last in China, laying off about 200-300 Chinese engineers.

The layoffs in China represent about 2 percent of Yahoo’s total workforce of 12,500 as of the end of last year.
 
this combined with the story about the chinesse army of hackers suggests that she might be closing security holes as well...
 
It's been over a decade since Yahoo had a product they developed that was actually good (Alibaba and Tumblr aren't Yahoo creations).
