Yahoo’s China arm will shut down its email service later this year, state media reported Friday, illustrating the brand’s diminishing profile in the country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

China Yahoo! announced it will close its email service by August 19<\/strong>, a move the China Daily said will leave it with just its web portal business.<\/p>\n

Users of the service were informed that they must register with AliCloud, a unit of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba<\/strong>, to prevent emails and other information from being deleted when Yahoo’s mail service stops.<\/p>\n

China Yahoo! has been operated by Alibaba since 2005, the paper said.<\/p>\n

The US Internet giant Yahoo! has come under criticism in the past over its business in China<\/strong>, with executives apologizing in 2007 for providing evidence that Chinese authorities used to convict government critics.<\/p>\n

The company said it was legally obliged to divulge information about its users to the Chinese government but that it was unaware it would be used to convict dissidents.<\/p>\n

The end of the service will affect millions of users<\/strong>, the paper quoted Alibaba public relations official Zhang Jianhua as saying, though he did not have a total figure.<\/p>\n
