In a Facebook post on Saturday, Zuckerberg said:
“Every year this trip is a great way to keep up with the pace of innovation and entrepreneurship in China,” he said. “Today I got to meet with students working on AI startups that compose music from scratch, diagnose diseases using sensors on your body, and more. They shared the state of the art in their fields, and I gave advice on how to build their companies. Thanks to all the students and faculty at Tsinghua for a great session!”
