Why is it that EVERY TIME I try to log into Faceboook here in China it tells me I have entered an incorrect username or password? I ALWAYS use the same username and password (maybe going against better judgement). I'm just sick of trying to log in with the same password I used yesterday, and now it tells me I have entered an invalid password.

So EVERY DAY I reset my password, and it's cool for that day. Next day, "incorrect username or password."

I've been through this cycle many times, and I'm just tired of having to reset my password (email and all that crap), over and over again. What's up with this?

I was told China is facebook unfriendly country.

But even so, your case is just abnormal.

Considering how rampant the viruses are in China, I recommend you check if you are infected on a daily basis.

nah, you're not stupid, and yes facebook in china DOES suck. As does many other things.

Ahh China..... where paranoia is contagious...

If I had to hazard a guess, it's people living in China.

As much as I love China, I also loathe the backwards, current gov't there. The gov't has made it so China's entire internet is on an IPv6 system. Don't ask me what that means, because I have no idea.

10 Ways the Chinese Internet is Different from Yours

Here's a full article on the subject.
