Yahoo no longer owns themselves in the PRC, they sold off the branch as a brand to Alibaba Group to off set cost because they felt they were not able to make a profit while they had to deal with the PRC Government. So I can understand why Yahoo Chine wont take the same approach as Google their a China based company and they would be shut down. MS on the other hand is doing the next best thing they wont release the search records of users not in mainland China. The same thing Google was doing previous to. You have to remember that MS has a brand to protect and does not want to run the risk of the PRC setting up a blockade on MS products and services in retaliation. China has a lot of hardware providers for MS products and its much to much of a risk for MS to take.
