Interesting that one of them is from Taiwan. I wonder how that would influence facebook/china relations and any attempts by facebook to make china friendly versions of the platform to gain more access to that market. Seems like they've made a big political statement just by having a Taiwanese person on the oversight board and using the word Taiwan instead of Chinese Taipei
- enitihas 6y agoAt this point, China is gone for Facebook, for the same reasons Facebook dominates the rest of the world. WeChat has strong network effects, everyone is already on it, and Tencent has deep enough pockets that they don't have to worry about anything Facebook might do. WeChat is also much more integrated into daily life in Chaina than all of Facebook apps combined. So I am sure they have given up on China practically.
