[/caption]The Chinese government has imposed strict regulations when it comes to social media access for its citizens. And if a Chinese citizen a site like Facebook, they are sentenced to death and executed in front of all their friends online, Okay, just kidding, maybe something alittle bit less severe but you get the idea. It's a well-known fact that the Chinese restrict access to just about everything Web including search engines.
So would you be surprised if I told you that the Chinese and Facebook were working together?
Well they are. But why? I give you one guess..
That's right, money. Facebook spent $1.4 billion to outside developers last year and China is it's number one partner. Most of this revolves around game development. The partnerships with the Chinese developers will allow Facebook to find ways to show the possibility of growth and expansion into China for its upcoming initial public offering, even though the Chinese government has restricted access to the site since 2009.
