Microsoft breaks ground for 5000-person Beijing R/D center

From xinhuanet.com:
[QUOTE]
Microsoft China broke ground on Tuesday on a 280-million-U.S.-dollar research and development campus in Zhongguancun, Beijing's high-tech region.

The campus, with two buildings offering 101,000 square meters of space, is expected to be completed in 2010 and will be the company's main overseas campus. About 5,000 employees will work at the facility.

Microsoft founder and chairman Bill Gates had decided to build a research center in China after overseas revenues reached 60 percent of the total, which was in 2006, said Zhang Yaqin, board chairman of Microsoft China.
