Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook founder and CEO, has delivered a 20-minute-long speech, entirely in Mandarin, to Tsinghua University in Beijing. The speech comes one year after he did a 30-minute Q&A, also at Tsinghua, where he sits on the board of the School of Economics and Management. Earlier reports said during a visit to the US, Chinese president Xi Jinping reportedly spent more time with Zuckerberg than he did with other top US CEOs, because the two talked in Chinese. Facebook last year leased office space in Beijing to establish an advertisement sales office and, possibly, to provide a headquarters for the “thousands” of developers it has there. Zuckerberg’s appointment to a board at Tsinghua suggests he is trusted by authorities. Many Weibo users said they were “moved” by his speech in Mandarin. -AMH
