Facebook創始人扎克伯格訪問百度

The chief executive officer and co-founder of the popular social networking website Facebook has met with the head of China's top search engine Baidu.

A spokesman for the search engine said Mark Zuckerberg and Baidu chief Robin Li toured the company's offices in Beijing Monday and had lunch together. It was not immediately clear what they discussed.

Zuckerberg has expressed interest in doing business in China, telling an audience recently, "How can you connect the whole world if you leave out 1.6 billion people?"

The Chinese government says at least 380 million of its citizens have access to the Internet and that it plans to boost that number to nearly half of its population during the next five years.

With 500 million users globally, if Facebook was a country, it would be the world's third most populous after China and India.

受歡迎的社交網站臉譜網的首席執行官和聯合創始人扎克伯格會見了中國最大的搜索引擎百度的負責人。

百度公司的發言人說，扎克伯格和百度總裁李彥宏星期一在北京參觀了百度的辦公室，兩人還共進午餐。目前還不清楚他們的談話內容。

扎克伯格表達了對在中國做生意的興趣，他最近在一次講話中說，如果不考慮10幾億人民，你怎麼能夠連接到整個世界呢？”

中方政府說，至少有3億8千萬公民可以上網，並且計劃在未來五年中把上網人數提高到將近總人口的一半。

臉譜網在全球擁有5億個用戶，如果臉譜網是一個國家的話，那麼它是世界上人口第三多的國家，僅次於中國和印度。
