A big part of that growth is overseas expansion, and that included China -- which could soon rival the U.S. market.。
Now, Netflix is walking back expectations about its expansion into the world's second-largest economy. The company announced on Monday as part of its third-quarter earnings report that it is no longer planning to launch its service in China.。
