By many standards, Facebook is the undisputed king of social media with its 1.8 billion active users, according to The Wall Street Journal. In an attempt to continue its momentum, the social media giant has faced an uphill battle against one of the largest countries in the world, China.
Since 2009, Facebook has been blocked on all computers operating in China. This has paved the way for social media such as WeChat, QQ and Weibo to gain speed in the race to the top. Without entry into the Chinese market, Facebook is losing the opportunity to gain followers from the country’s population of nearly 700 million people.
