Comments on: Facebook Traffic from China Drops by Half in the Last Month http://www.insidefacebook.com/2009/08/04/facebook-traffic-from-china-drops-by-half-in-the-last-month/ Tracking Facebook and the Facebook Platform for Developers and Marketers Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:43:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: BEB http://www.insidefacebook.com/2009/08/04/facebook-traffic-from-china-drops-by-half-in-the-last-month/comment-page-1/#comment-71871 BEB Sun, 14 Mar 2010 08:53:10 +0000 http://www.insidefacebook.com/?p=15053#comment-71871 In reply to: ''Besides the obvious censorship issue, Chinese government’s other objective (by using this as reason) for blocking Facebook is to create competitive advantage for its homegrown social sites. In fairness, Facebook should block all apps from Chinese developers. After all, most of the Chinese developed games I see on Facebook are blatant rip-off other companies. I’m talking about you Happy Harvest (clone of Barn Buddy), Happy Farm, etc. I’m of Chinese ancestry and I’ll be the first to day that China operates on double standard. Non-Chinese companies always get different set of law which makes it much more difficult to do business in that country.'' If Facebook blocked all Chinese apps etc they'd probably have nothing left! Just like if everyone decided not to buy anything made in China! Unfortunately they have the upper hand here, they make everything and so therefore they can pretty much dictate everything! To be honest if they don't want Facebook then fair play they will lose alot of young people in China! Young people now are very headstrong and if they don't like there country they will look elsewhere! BEB In reply to:

You can get around it with software but that doesn't always work. Twitter, CNN and even AOL and Skype are affected. Facebook in China is shut down full stop.

FB has been banned/blocked/artificially slowed down from China for the past 4-5 weeks and this is generally still the case. "Power users"/blogosphere/dissenters know which proxies and how to use but the typical internet cafe access or "average" home PC user cannot access FB. And other sites such as Twitter, Wordpress,etc Going to be interesting to see if FB will follow yahoo,google,others and give in to self-censorship or rather decide to "ignore" the Chinese market if self-censorship is a pre-requisite for doing business.
