Accenture explores sale of China operations, up to $1.5bn

Accenture is reportedly seeking to divest its Chinese operations for up to $1.5bn, a move that would mark a significant retreat from the world's second-largest IT market. The sale comes amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and questions about AI's impact on the consultancy's business, with shares fluctuating in recent months. The deal's outcome remains uncertain, but it signals a broader corporate reassessment of China exposure.
