Facebook announced the opening of their sales office in Hong Kong today, according to Asia Media Journal. The office will provide direct support for companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Facebook already has an ad sales office in Singapore, and this latest opening will only strengthen Facebook’s presence in Asia. However, Facebook remains banned in China (a sanction that’s been put in place since 2009).

“By continuing to build our presence in the region, Facebook will be able to directly provide full support to advertisers here and help them create and execute campaigns that will have a meaningful impact on their businesses,” explains Blake Chandlee, VP & Commercial Director, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Emerging Markets.

Facebook currently has offices in the US, Canada, Australia, and all over Western Europe.
