Facebook CEO Gives A Speech In Chinese

Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, gives his speech in Chinese language at a local university.

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook Inc., enthralled the masses at the Chinese Tsinghua University recently when he gave his speech in Chinese completely. He spoke strongly about his and the company’s mission to transform the world. The chief executive officer became a member of the University’s board of economics and management in the previous year. Zuckerberg stated, "This was also my first real speech in any language sharing how I started thinking about Facebook's mission, what has kept me going through challenging times and what our mission means now looking ahead for our community of 1.5 billion people.” He further added, “The themes of believing in your mission, caring more deeply than anyone else and always looking ahead is relevant to anything you might build." In October 2014, the young CEO was successful in pleasing the crowd present at Tsinghua University where he conducted a question and answer session as well. The issue that aroused during that session was that the pronunciation of Mr. Zuckerberg was considered to be off slightly. Moreover, he also made one slip up that resulted in the social media moguls to states that the company has only eleven users. This time, he actually came up with his speech and improved largely. At TechCrunch – the popular tech website, Mr. Jon Russell stated that when the CEO spoke to the Chinese speakers, they were actually enthralled by the extensive vocabulary of the tech tycoon amid the fact that he took a relatively short span of time to learn. The only suggestion they had was that he could actually improve his tone since it needed some work. However, overall everyone agreed that the progress shown by the owner of the top social media platform is actually very impressive. Earlier in 2009, Facebook was banned in the region and is still banned to date. The CEO had initially shown interest in knowing more about China when he read “The Governance of China” by the President Xi Jinping. The book fascinated him so much that he asked all Facebook employees to read it. When he came to the University previously, he cleared that the company’s mission was to "connect the entire world", where he mentioned that company is keen about making harmonious relations with the authorities and masses at the People’s Republic of China. The future prospects seem extremely bright and he is willing to further extend the relationship with the Asian giant.
