Mark Zuckerberg reportedly wants to follow in Elon Musk and Tim Cook's footsteps, and sell products in China — but his past criticisms of China could haunt him
Zuckerberg specifically put China on blast for restricting its residents from posting political content related to pro-Hong Kong activism on TikTok"While our services like WhatsApp are used by protesters and activists everywhere due to strong encryption and privacy protections, on TikTok, the China-based app growing quickly around the world, mentions of these same protests are censored, even here in the US," Zuckerberg said the 2019 speech.
In that same speech, Zuckerberg said he was worried that China's values could spread to other parts of the world. "China is building its own internet focused on very different values, and is now exporting their vision of the internet to other countries," ."A decade ago, almost all of the major internet platforms were American. Today, six of the top ten are Chinese."
