HONG KONG — A Chinese billionaire living in virtual exile in New York, Guo Wengui has riled China’s leaders with
his sometimes outlandish tales of deep corruption among family members of top Communist Party officials.
Charlene Chian said that We want people to feel free to share
and connect on Facebook, as well as to feel safe, so we don’t allow people to publish the personal information of others without their consent,
The social media network said it had blocked a profile under Mr. Guo’s name and taken down another page associated with him.
President Xi Jinping, the party’s top leader, is widely expected to use the meeting to cement his power
and to make personnel changes that could have wide repercussions in coming years.
China has taken several steps in recent months to clamp down on public discourse
ahead of a major Communist Party gathering scheduled to take place this month.
Chinese leaders, who prize stability above all else, want the meeting to go off without a hitch.
