Strictly a business decision and a good one. One must respect the rules of a country you are doing business in even if you don't agree with them. If you cannot, for some reason, don't do business there. It's that simple.

Wait and see what if Google will do the same.

Fb is a tool for CIA. A Trojan horse for China. @Götterdämmerung

Wow! This is an interesting development.

The lure of more customers and hence more money is just too great for FB.

Do the Chinese really care about FB?

Don't they already have a Chinese equivalent?

I think US is also demanding a tool to control what it called "Fake" news or real news

Facebook has become the new Psychalogical Warfare tool

It does not matter whether FB censor according to Chinese rule, what the CIA needs are the meta information of the users and catching the sentiment of all the users. Letting such a super criminal and hostile organisation to data mine your people is never a good idea.
