Zuckerburg has a history of this type of behavior in the past where he sucked up to Xi Jinping asking him to name his child (wtf...). He obviously doesn’t care about politics nearly as much as he does courting influence and money from politicians in power. The embarrassing part is his attempts to justify it without outright saying “Look, we have to keep Republicans happy because they have the power to hurt Facebook or stop giving us money and I’m not OK with that.”
Dorsey and even Bezos are more principled than he is.

- industriousthou 6y agoWhy would anyone be pro-China and in favor of TPP?
- jldugger 6y agoPerhaps a better phrasing is 'pro-the-Chinese-people'. Or maybe just 'not racist'.
- dbmikus 6y agoYou mean the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP)? That partnership was not to the benefit of China. It did not include China.

- youeseh 6y agoAh, that is correct. It's possible that, since China and Vietnam have a free trade agreement, that there would be some misuse (https://theintercept.com/2015/11/11/trump-was-right-about-tpp-benefitting-china/ https://theintercept.com/2015/11/11/trump-was-right-about-tp...), but you're right.
