Not to be outdone by colonial overlord Prince William, Facebook CEO and Xi Jinping Fan Club chairman Mark Zuckerberg has now released a video of himself - or a tone-deaf robot wearing his skin, it's difficult to tell - sending out his Chinese New Year greetings in Mandarin (and gesticulating madly for good measure).

Touching to see that he even broke out one of his finest grey T-shirts for the occasion! Good thing Facebook's not banned in China so all his mainland fans will be able to enjoy his performance.
