Facebook's China market is bleak

Facebook is indeed a good social networking site abroad, and it is called the "World's largest social network", according to the domestic science and technology news information, Facebook shares soared after the listing, a short half of the market value has been more than 70 billion U.S. dollars. I have plans to buy the shares of Facebook, but I understand that the next domestic buy foreign stocks more trouble, in addition to their own funds are not much so did not go to vote! Let's analyze why Facebook has a bleak future in the Chinese market!

　　Open Chinese web

According to the Wall Street Journal, Facebook recently launched a Chinese-language website, but some users in Beijing soon found it was not connected to the site's homepage.

Is it a technical malfunction or a government blockade? The question of opening a website in China is never clear. Facebook did not immediately respond to requests for comment. China censors will not disclose which sites they will target and will never confirm that they have blocked the site. Standards of implementation are often different between regions in China and even among internet providers. In fact, although some users in Beijing are unable to see Facebook, at least in some other parts of China, users can access the site in Tuesday.

Experts say China's opaque internet blockade is a superb place for its censorship system. In many countries, users are notified when they try to connect to blocked content, but Chinese web users see "Connection Timeouts" or "reset" information that looks like a common computer problem. Moreover, many sites are not completely blocked. For example, some Chinese users could not log on to Facebook's home page in Tuesday, but could see part of the site through other links.

　　Cooperation with Tencent failed

China's largest social network is the most domestic enterprise Tencent's QQ space, Facebook to be a firm step in the domestic must defeat QQ zone or cooperation with Tencent. However, according to the Network news report Facebook and the request and Tencent cooperation, and finally because of the holding factor cooperation broken!

　　Facebook looks to ally with Baidu

December 20 night, according to AP reported, Baidu Investor Relations Department International Media PR director Kuo, the Associated Press confirmed that Facebook CEO Zuckerberg and Baidu CEO Robin Li had lunch together. But Kuo said he did not know the details of the two men's conversation.

Kuo also said that "Zuckerberg is personally interested in China," but it is well known that Facebook is still inaccessible in China. Zuckerberg had hinted that he was more interested in "How can you connect the world if you leave 1.6 billion people?" ”

　　Analyze Facebook's collaboration with Baidu

First look at Baidu, in fact, before Baidu to see people micro Bo really covet, also made a Baidu said it, asking for real name registration. But after a few months, the performance was mediocre. And earlier, the Baidu Bar to add I bar function, bar users can add others as fans, but also can let each other add their own fans, but this man-made, tough approach, although from the surface, some users even more fans than Sina Weibo, but the quality of the fans is very low. It's not a good idea to join the social-networking I bar to the Community properties bar.

Look at Facebook, though it hasn't done anything in China yet. But their elders, such as Yahoo, Google,msn,ebay and others, have suffered Waterloo in China without exception. The reason is that we do not understand China's national conditions and do not understand the internet habits and cultural characteristics of Chinese netizens. Using American-style successful experience to explore the Internet jungle with Chinese characteristics will eventually lose direction. What about Facebook, I feel that Facebook's success is typical of the American style. Mark Zuckerberg advocates a transparent, authentic, highly open social network in which Americans are very clear about public information and privacy, and they have a very strong sense of order. Such social networks can still be viable in the United States to some Western countries. But how many people in China are willing to disclose their true identity to Facebook? Perhaps this information, your parents, your teacher, your lover, wife, children can see! This is not a similar in China.

Perhaps you will say, Renren, happy Net is not the real name registration? Yes, but they are a niche social network, far from being a national social platform with hundreds of millions of of users like Facebook.

　　Summarize

China's national conditions and the quality of netizens, culture, habits determine that China is unlikely to have a Facebook-like platform.

If Facebook alliances with Baidu, it will be just a gorgeous dream, but hard to bear good fruit!
