Zoom suspends China sales in partial market retraction

Zoom is to stop selling new or upgraded products directly to customers in China, as it transitions towards a partner-only model in the region.

Local Zoom customers were told today that a selection of third-party suppliers will now handle Zoom sales and some operations in China, listing a number of authorised partners that will now act on its behalf.

It comes as Zoom has increasingly distanced itself from operating in China in recent months over the country’s human rights record, though it remains available to use.
