Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg Makes History In China (Photos)

Chinese President Xi Jinping exchanged greetings with Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, and other tech executives at the eighth annual US-China Internet Industry Forum at Microsoft’s Redmond campus on Wednesday.

Zuckerberg, attired in suit with a red tie - which he normally doesn’t wear, shook hands with Xi at the forum.“This was the first time I’ve ever spoken with a world leader entirely in a foreign language. I consider that meaningful personal milestone,” Zuckerberg posted later on his Facebook page.

Zuckerberg has claimed multiple times that he has been learning Chinese and was earlier reported to have read and recommended the Governance of China, a collection of Xi’s speeches and interviews, as per the Seattle Times.
