KEY POINTS
  • While businesses in the U.S. and Europe woke up Friday to a global IT outage that disrupted airports and hotels, China went into its weekend largely unaffected.
  • “The impact of Friday’s CrowdStrike incident on China was very small, with almost no impact on domestic public life,” Gao Feng, senior research director at Gartner, said in Chinese, translated by CNBC. “Only some foreign companies in China were affected.”
  • “This is partly because many of the security threats that CrowdStrike is designed to protect against originate from China,” said Rich Bishop, CEO of AppInChina, which publishes international software in China.
