Mark Zuckerberg’s charity puts Chinese rich under pressure

Hindustan Times  

China's billionaires came under pressure from netizens to contribute to their social causes after Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg decided to donate the majority of his wealth to a charity initiative set up along with his Chinese wife Priscilla Chan. "He's really a special tycoon, living in an ordinary house, wearing ordinary clothes, and finds an ordinary-looking wife," a Weibo user wrote. Under the hashtag "Zuckerberg donated 99% of his shares," the topic had garnered around 5 million views since it was posted on Wednesday, state-run Global Times said in its report. I hope the tycoons and celebrities in China can pay more attention to the environment, healthcare and education, buy fewer luxury race cars," another Weibo user wrote.
