On Friday, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey welcomed Chen, a software engineer who once worked for the People’s Liberation Army, as the company’s new managing director for "Greater China," which includes, in Twitter's view, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. The same day, Chen published her first couple of tweets.
