Five years after Zuckerberg was jogging around Beijing, he went hoverboard surfing carrying the American flag.
As long the competition is Chinese TikTok or Russian Telegram then Facebook (and its associated businesses) will be allowed, even subsidized to grow in their dominance.
Yes. There may be regulation that constraints Facebook but you can be sure that its competition will be hit harder.
This is the calculation they are making and it is probably correct.

I'd be pleasantly surprised if it does but it hasn't demonstrated much ability or interest in countering China's industrial influence.
