Video above: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg At Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, this past weekend.
Facebook is blocked in China, nevertheless Zuckerberg has learned to speak fluent Mandarin as indicated in the video, and joined the board of Tsinghua University’s School of Economics and Management a year ago. He was participating in a student dialogue with board members according to the Los Angeles Times, which also reported:
"Zuckerberg's relentless China charm offensive has also included hosting China’s Internet czar at Facebook’s Silicon Valley headquarters last year, and leaving a copy of Xi's [Chinese President Xi Jinping] collected writings in prominent view. A state-run news outlet in China later reported that Zuckerberg told the official, Lu Wei, about the book: "I want my colleagues to understand socialism with Chinese characteristics." (That's Communist party-speak for China's blend of capitalism and authoritarianism.)"Zuckerberg posted on Facebook: “This was also my first real speech in any language sharing how I started thinking about Facebook's mission, what has kept me going through challenging times and what our mission means now looking ahead for our community of 1.5 billion people.”
