Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg is certainly maximizing his trip in China. His first stop was Beijing, where he visited Baidu and Sina.
While in Baidu, Zuckerberg met up with Baidu CEO Robin Li. Kaiser Kuo, Baidu’s director of International communications said both Li and Zuckerberg have been friends for a long time and quashed any rumors that were speculated.
In Sina, Zuckerberg met up with CEO Charles Chao for an “information exchange on the Chinese Internet market,” a spokesperson told Bloomberg.
If it means anything, Zuckerberg did not manage to visit Beijing-based Renren, China’s largest social network. The Chinese social network has over 100 million users and is gearing up for IPO in the U.S. Its features and interface are very much similar to Facebook’s.
Zuckerberg’s adventure has continued southward as he visited e-commerce giant, Alibaba and Taobao (also Alibaba’s) in Hangzhou. Shanghai, Taiwan, Shenzhen and Hong Kong could all be part of Zuckerberg’s travel plan. Who knows, Zuckerberg could also visit his Asia offices in Japan, Malaysia and Singapore.
