Zuckerberg Jogs in Beijing's AQI 337 Air Without Mask

How far would you go to curry favor with China?

How about running through Tiananmen Square without a mask in this morning's thick-as-pea-soup AQI 337 air?

That's just what The Zuck-Up did this morning at around 10am Beijing time, remarking, "It's great to be back in Beijing! I kicked off my visit with a run through Tiananmen Square, past the Forbidden City and over to the Temple of Heaven."

Nice going, Mark.

If this doesn't get Facebook unbanned in China, nothing will.

P.S. so far there's no truth to the rumor that Zuckerberg will be recording his own live-action version of last fall's three-minute bilingual rap that attempts to explain China's 13th Five-Year Plan this afternoon after a quick swim through Houhai to demonstrate how clean the water is.
