Mark Zuckerberg criticized for running in Beijing without a mask

Mark Zuckerberg has been running around the world (literally) but his latest jog in Beijing has caused an uproar.

The Facebook CEO ran through Tiananmen Square earlier this week and posted a photo of it from China on Friday morning.
Some people criticized him for associating himself with a symbol of communism. Others said they were surprised he ran without a face mask given Beijing's pollution problems.
A few mused at the irony of the post itself: Facebook is banned in China, yet here he is, the leader of the company, posting from China.
Those who judged the run most harshly said this was Zuckerberg's way of "sucking up" to the Chinese government -- the people who can let Facebook operate in China and unleash the company's biggest untapped customer base.
