The question is, do people in China really need Facebook now? I used to live in China and I still have lots of connections there, none of my friends are using Facebook-like social network services. People are using Wechat (a mobile-based semi-private social network), weibo (a Twitter clone with more features), and Zhihu (a Quora clone), and a zillion live streaming share sites. All the Facebook clone sites in China are dying.

That being said, I agree that this is still an evil move for Facebook.
