Microsoft is quietly helping launch an incubator to boost Chinese startups with cutting-edge AI – and the bizarre project is reigniting fears in Washington that the tech giant is getting too cozy with Beijing, The Post has learned. Last month, local Chinese Communist Party officials stood alongside Microsoft executives when the “Shenzhen Global Expansion Center” was unveiled, touting it as a “one-stop platform for international business expansion. ” The software giant co-founded by Bill Gates will provide local firms with its “AI technologies, platform capabilities, and access to its global ecosystem network,” according to a May 8 press release.
