Facebook Inc finds itself entangled in yet another political spat – this time with China, a market the social media giant is seeking to enter.
Police in Hong Kong, a semi-autonomous part of China, have asked the company to remove the official page of the pro-independence National Party, which was slapped with an unprecedented government ban this week.
