“Mark Zuckerberg’s attempt to forge a friendship with China’s President Xi Jinping appears to have backfired. The leader reportedly snubbed the Facebook founder’s request to choose an honorary Chinese name for his unborn baby girl with wife Priscilla Chan.”

“Mark, who is trying to lift China’s ban on FB, met Xi a number of times during his visit to the US last month. But it was at a spectacular White House dinner hosted by President Barack Obama in Xi’s honor on September 25 that Mark was brave enough to ask for the personal favor.”

“Seated at the head table with his pregnant wife, the Obamas and President Xi and his wife Peng Liyuan, Zuckerberg plucked up the courage to ask Xi to name his baby daughter – in Mandarin. But a source told PageSix that he received a definitive ‘no’ from a stony-faced Xi.”

Dear Lord. Not only has Suckerberg learnt Mandarin, jogged in Beijing and married a daughter of the Yellow Emperor just so that he can suck up to Zhongnanhai, he also asked Xi Jinping to provide the name of his then unborn daughter.

He is willing to hand over all aspects of his family life to Xi Jinping if it even gave him the slightest chance of having his website unblocked in China for a week.

By asking Xi Jinping to name his daughter, Mark’s effectively granting ownership of his baby over to Xi. There’s a name for a man who raises a baby who belongs to somebody else, and that name is “cuckold”.
