Would you be happy staging a Teams-powered videoconference on a hefty Android-powered touchscreen commercial display? Chinese appliance giant Hisense is ...

But, given Western discomfort with Chinese tech companies, baking Teams into Chinese products aimed at business use – and possibly sensitive commercial conversations – is a trickier sell. The latter is not unusual for Satya Nadella's Microsoft, which does not have the same hostility to operating systems other than Windows that it demonstrated under previous management. Ma Yue, Microsoft's vice president for Greater China and general manager of its Solutions Division, is quoted as saying the tie-up will "provide more high-quality Chinese products and technologies for the global commercial display field." Machine translation of Microsoft's announcement features Ray Guo, overseas director of Hisense Commercial Display, stating the collaboration will "help Hisense continuously enhance its influence, brand power and competitiveness in the global market and on the world stage." Microsoft's announcement states that this is the software behemoth's first Teams-related collaboration on Android in China, and that the partners both see their work together as advancing the cause of Teams and/or ACS on Android across the globe.
