Ni Hao: Mark Zuckerberg Visits China
Facebook's CEO arrived in Beijing this morning and visited Baidu, China's most popular search engine. Is he trying to get Facebook unlocked in China once and for all?
Facebook’s CEO arrived in Beijing this morning and visited Baidu, China’s most popular search engine. Is he trying to get Facebook unlocked in China once and for all?
The answer is up in the air for now. Neither Baidu nor Facebook would disclose the reason for Mark Zuckerberg’s visit, although it’s suspected that Facebook is hard at work to reach a compromise with Chinese authorities that would allow the social network to better tap into the 420 million Chinese web user market.
It could be that Baidu and Facebook are simply looking to strike a business deal (Baidu has seen massive growth in China this year, no less because although it is privately owned, it is favored by Chinese authorities).
