After Facebook and its related proprietary apps were banned in China, the company looks for a new way through the country's regulatory regime.
Facebook is behind a new photo-sharing app which is reportedly being tested in China. Named “Colorful Balloons,” the new app comes after China previously banned Facebook in 2009. Other Facebook-owned apps, such as Instagram and WhatsApp apps, are prohibited in the nation as well.
The launch of the new app, which does not use the company's name, was first reported by The New York Times and highlights the importance Facebook places on the Chinese market.
