Vladimir Putin has enormous political influence over the Russian elite and has demonstrated a large flexibility in his handling of foreign state relationships. However, the incident with Prigohozin demonstrates that he has developed large blind spots and has overextended the Russian military that he has direct control over.
Why do you think you're right?
China is and will continue to be hampered by export restrictions from the US, however the ability for China to adapt their chip manufacturing sector and accelerated their manufacturing technologies will continue to give them an edge in the industry. Couple that with strong state and corporate initiatives in AI and ML, and there are good reasons why Microsoft will continue to want a presence in the country.
Why might you be wrong?
The trade war between the US and China might continue to escalate to a point where it would be infeasible for Microsoft to maintain a presence in China.

The US has demonstrated this capability before and can likely execute another attack quickly if they wanted to. The question is whether the risk of escalation is enough if a deterrent for both sides.
