Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg meets China's propaganda chief in Beijing
Liu Yunshan says Facebook can share its experience with Chinese counterparts to help ‘internet development better benefit the people of all countries’
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg held a rare meeting on Saturday with China’s propaganda chief, at a time when Chinese authorities are tightening control over their cyberspace.
Liu Yunshan told Zuckerberg that his US-based social media platform could share its experience with Chinese companies to help “internet development better benefit the people of all countries,” the official Xinhua news agency reported.
Zuckerberg was in Beijing to attend the China Development Forum, along with Alibaba chief Jack Ma and Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund Christine Lagarde
China has called for the creation of a global internet “governance system” and cooperation between countries to regulate internet use, stepping up efforts to promote controls that activists complain stifle free expression.
