Re: Does Mark Zuckerberg know Cantonese?

I don't think he knows any Cantonese, and if he does it seems he doesn't want to talk about it publicly. If his goal is to get Facebook connected with more Chinese then he will continue having these...

I don't think he does. According to what I've read on the internet, his wife speaks cantonese. So when Zuckerburg said that he wants to learn "Chinese" to communicate with his wife's family, that's...
