Microsoft has already announced that it was looking to expand its retail network worldwide, and China seems to be one of the first countries to get an official store this year.

The company has posted a job listing on its Careers website, revealing that it's looking for a Senior Director Retail Operations International to work in Shanghai, China.

“As we develop our footprint internationally, we’re looking for a Sr. Director Retail Operations International who'll be responsible for all Physical Store Operations. This is a key role on the leadership team and will be responsible to drive the build out and staffing of physical stores,” the job ad reads.

At the same time, Microsoft continues its efforts to open new stores across the United States, so the Softies launched two new locations only this week, just ahead of the public launch of Windows 8.1.
