Mr. Zuckerberg Goes To China

January 1st, 2011

Click HERE for the initial Wall Street Journal article on his visit.  Zuckerberg’s money quote:  “It’s such an important part of the world. I mean, how can you connect the world if you leave out China’s population of more than one billion people ….”

Click HERE for Paul Denlinger’s take and click HERE for Kaiser Kuo’s take.  These two guys know as much as any westerner on the topic.

To say that Facebook’s entry into China would be fraught with challenges would be an understatement, in my view.

Your take?

If you were a consultant for Facebook, or on its Board of Directors, how would you advise Facebook to proceed?  Enter China?   If so what would be the “conditions” you would “demand” as the morally certain Westerner who operates in absolutes and/or thinks they know it all from China and/or its CCP government (assuming you could dictate, which you can’t, but let’s assume you can for purposes of this post)?  Stay out of China completely?

And if you were an early or later investor in Facebook, how would you want Facebook to proceed?

And if you were a patriotic Chinese citizen born and raised in China, and still living there, how would you want Facebook to proceed or your government to proceed in response thereto?
