If only they can do business with minimal intervention from the Chinese government. And like someone mentioned, they'll definitely find it harder than Google.

In markets like China, Russia, etc its difficult for western internet companies to get adopted, local users like local apps more.

Of course, Facebook doesn't specifically connect wholesale to manufacturer, but unintentionally it is bound to happen. One of my clients deals first hand with several manufacturers in China and the nervous Chinese government you mention is all too accurate. I still think that there is a huge amount of hope in countries like China for Facebook, mainly due in part to the sudden increase in brand name quality coming out of China. New products that mimic the style and quality of Japanese products like Sony, Hitachi, and Samsung are beginning to saturate the market. Take a stroll through Wal-Mart and compare the LCD televisions for instance. I think China may use Facebook to help pump some of their best brands. Good post!
