I didn't interpret that as Facebook planning to attack China. To me, it sounded like the work they'd have to do to cooperate with the Chinese system of censorship and surveillance in order to get their product accepted there. (E.g., build a version of PRISM[1] for the Chinese government, just as they did for the NSA.)
This kind of collaboration with an authoritarian regime is something that Facebook employees who value freedom might find to be distasteful, but if it furthers the company's lofty goal of "connecting everyone in the world", then, hey, it can be justified.
