Things about Facebook

You want to set up Facebook ads targeting Chinese users - first you need to identify the age, gender, geographic location and interests of the Chinese users you want to target. Ads are written in Chinese, using images, videos and messages that are relevant to Chinese culture and interests. A/B test to compare the performance of different ad versions and adjust the campaign based on the results.
 
When we use Facebook to advertise, how can we accurately target Chinese groups?
You can only target Chinese speakers, as you cannot place your campaign in China.
 
You can’t target by nationality directly, but you can use location, language, interests, or behaviors related to Chinese culture. Make sure your content is relevant and complies with Meta’s advertising policies.
 
You could try this:
  1. In Ads Manager set your location to areas with high Chinese-speaking populations (e.g., Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, overseas Chinese diaspora) and pick "Languages: Chinese (Simplified)" or "Chinese (Traditional)".
  2. Create ad creatives and copy in Chinese, tailored culturally (symbols, colours, values) so they resonate—not just translated.
  3. Use interests and behaviours relevant to Chinese-speaking users (e.g., diaspora communities, Chinese language media) along with custom or lookalike audiences from your own seed list.
Keep in mind: If you target mainland China, note that Facebook is blocked there so you’re essentially reaching overseas Chinese or Chinese-speaking users outside of China.
 
Facebook can’t target China directly; focus on Chinese speakers abroad or use local platforms like WeChat/Weibo.
 
When we use Facebook to advertise, how can we accurately target Chinese groups?
You can't directly target users in China, but you can reach overseas Chinese-speaking audiences via WeChat, Taobao, or Mandarin.
 
Since Facebook is restricted in mainland China, target overseas Chinese communities in countries like Malaysia, Singapore, the US, or Canada. Use language + behavior filters to reach them effectively.
 
Try targeting by language (Chinese), interests, and location clusters where Chinese communities are active—it works pretty well!
 
When we use Facebook to advertise, how can we accurately target Chinese groups?
Facebook doesn’t officially operate in mainland China, so you can’t target local users directly. The only way is to target the Chinese diaspora by language, location, and behavior.
 
When we use Facebook to advertise, how can we accurately target Chinese groups?
Facebook is not popular in China, Chinese use Wechat. However if you want to try, you can target users who talk in Chinese and add interest related to Chinese language, location, behavior. Test small group to determine which ones respond best.
 
You can target Chinese groups by using interest-based targeting, combined with language filters (Chinese Simplified/Traditional) and location settings if you’re aiming at users abroad like in Malaysia, Singapore, or the U.S.
