  돌아섰다. 왜?]

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg once embraced China

as a key potential market for his company.

But Beijing never let Facebook operate inside its internet firewall,

which helped turn Zuckerberg into one of the most vocal

American technology leaders to speak out against

what many see as the Chinese Communist Party's threat to internet freedom.

    * But Beijing never let Facebook operate inside its internet firewall,
  ; 인터넷 방화벽에서 페이스북을 막아왔다

   * to speak out against  ; CCP의 위협에 대항하여 공공연히(내 놓고, 크게) 말하다.

  Now, the internet mogul who studied Chinese and
famously hosted China's internet chief at Facebook headquarters in 2014,

is warning that Beijing's policies pose a threat to American technology.
  * mogul ; 거물 
  * hosted China's internet chief at Facebook headquarters ;

중국의 인터넷 책임자를 페이스북 본부에 모셔왔다.
  * pose a threat to ~ ; ~에 위협을 가한다.
 
At a Senate hearing in late July, Zuckerberg told senators that

it was "well documented that the Chinese government steals technology

from American companies."
  * Senate hearing ; 상원 청문회
  * well documented; 기록에 잘 남아있다
 

Growth in Asia, not China

A few years ago, as Facebook aggressively expanded overseas,
China was its top target.
Facebook had been banned in China since 2009.
If Zuckerberg could get the ban lifted,
Facebook could quickly gain some 700 million potential users.
Zuckerberg went to great efforts to establish ties with Beijing,
visiting with top officials and delivering a speech
in Chinese at Tsinghua University in 2015.
  * aggresively; 공격적으로, 적극적으로
 

In September 2018, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg testified before

the Senate Intelligence Committee that Facebook would only operate

in a country that respects its "values," and

specifically said China failed to meet this standard.
  * COO; Chief Operating Officer ; 운영총괄임원
  * specifically said; 콕 찝어서 말했다
 

Facebook's relations with China cooled further.

In March 2019, Zuckerberg pledged that his social media platform

would always put "privacy first," and announced that

Facebook would not establish a data center in China —

a "country that has been violating privacy and free speech."

China's first requirement for foreign internet companies is that

all user data must be stored in China.
 

Investigating TikTok
 

"A great firewall has already spilt the internet, one for 1.4 billion people,
and one for the rest of the world.
And I think those differences are now getting even more profound."
  * those  differences; 그러한 차등이 더 심화되고 있다
