Company looks to Vietnam to pick up any work that can’t be done in China. FMTNews Facebook

Facebook is paying between US$500 million and US$1 billion for the technology.

The limits, which went into effect Monday, halt non-essential travel to China by all Facebook employees. If workers have to visit the country, they need specific approval. The travel restrictions at the social media company are likely to impact its hardware division, which sells devices such as the Portal video chat hub and Oculus virtual reality headsets.

Facebook’s current products likely won’t be impacted, but the move could cause engineering delays on future devices, one of the people said.
