Facebook鈥檚 founder learning from Xi ...
Print Edition
A CHINESE government news portal yesterday released a photo of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg with a copy of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s book on governance at his desk while hosting a top Internet regulator from China.
Zuckerberg, who has long sought market access to China, where Facebook is blocked, was quoted by China.com.cn as saying he purchased several copies of Xi’s book so he and colleagues could learn about “socialism with Chinese characteristics.”
China.com.cn, under China’s Internet Information Office and another government agency, said the photo was taken at Facebook’s Menlo Park office and that Xi’s book “The Governance of China” was at Zuckerberg’s workstation when he hosted China’s Internet regulator Lu Wei.
“I bought this book for my colleagues as well,” Zuckerberg was quoted as telling Lu. “I want them to understand socialism with Chinese characteristics.”
The photo shows a beaming Lu sitting in Zuckerberg’s chair, with the Facebook founder smiling and standing next to him.
Lu was in the United States last week to attend a conference at which China pushed for a louder voice in the management of the Internet.
China also argued in favor of the concept of “information sovereignty.”
Zuckerberg surprised Chinese college students in Beijing in October when he chatted with them for 30 minutes in Mandarin, in a move widely seen as an attempt to court Chinese goodwill.
China.com.cn said Zuckerberg gave Lu a tour of Facebook’s office in Mandarin.
