HTC to date has two Android devices, that are known as Facebook phones, the Cha Cha and the Salsa. Whilst the rest of the worlds social networking seems to revolve around Facebook and Twitter, in China the big player is Sina Weibo.com. While this may seem trivial, this deviation from the norm by HTC makes a lot of sense. Weibo which is probably more of a Hybrid of Facebook and Twitter, has had a foothold on the internet in the region due to bans on Facebook and Twitter that have only been recently allowed into the region. Obviously, HTC being based in the region, obviously has it's finger on the pulse of what it's customers want.
HTC Source, HTC Salsa Shipping with Weibo, Not Facebook, in China!
