Even if you don't hold hands together in future life, I hope your foundation can still continue and help more people," one Weibo user wrote, responding to a post on Bill Gates' official Weibo account that announced the divorce in Chinese.

Based in Beijing, Microsoft Research Lab Asia has cultivated many Chinese tech talents, including Bytedance founder Zhang Yiming, Alibaba (BABA) tech chief Wang Jian and former Baidu (BIDU) president Zhang Yaqin.

Bill and Melinda are "the most affectionate couple I've seen among celebrity entrepreneurs," Lee wrote in a Weibo post.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation set up its Beijing office in 2007 and has since then worked with the Chinese government on several domestic projects in the country, ranging from HIV intervention to poverty reduction.

Bill Gates himself has visited China more than a dozen times since the 1990s and cultivated friendly relations with top leaders.

The trip — during which Gates promised Jiang that Microsoft would help China develop its software industry — helped Microsoft accelerate its expansion in the Chinese market.

In 2006, Gates hosted former Chinese President Hu Jintao for dinner at his home in the Washington state.

And last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping wrote to Gates to thank him for his support in fighting Covid-19.
