BBC  News revealed that social media pioneer Twitter has said it will open an office in Hong Kong in the first quarter of 2015.

Twitter wanted to step into Asian market by expanding their business in China, starting from Hong Kong.  The company told BBC that their upcoming office in Hong Kong will enable them to “pursue strategic opportunities in Greater China, such as China export advertising market, Hong Kong and Taiwan advertising markets, media partnerships, and new Twitter Fabric integrated with MoPub for mobile developers”.

Even with Twitter’s extreme optimistic predicted feedback of the opening of Hong Kong office, I personally beg to differ.  With the messaging service being banned from operating in mainland China, the opening of the new office won’t allow Twitter to go into mainland market, which it does not make a difference from before.
