Japanese electronics giant Sony Corp is reviewing its China operations amid a global layoff plan that will see 16,000 people lose jobs.
Sony China said it will "actively cooperate with the initiative" by its headquarters in Japan, the largest workforce reduction by a Japanese company since the start of the global economic crisis.
The global slump has also forced Sony to close at least five factories and curb worldwide investment.
