Buy Baidu stocks, and if google leaves China, very few Chinese will miss it anyway.

Most Chinese poeple, even though living in America, uses Baidu already.

So a Chinese controlled news site says Google "might" pull out? It must be true!

But Google still ranks as the most used search engine worldwide and Baidu market share doesn't even figure in at 6.5% of market share.
Seeing as their are soooooo many Chinese people in the world and supposedly use Baidu for no other reason than it is a Chinese company shouldn't it's global share be higher anyway?

What cave do you live in? Virtually nobody uses Baidu outside of China, at least not for web search. Baidu's search engine is far, far inferior to Google, and to almost every major US search engines. Baidu has some tricks in its bag when it comes to Chinese searches, but not too many Chinese Americans conduct their online searches in Chinese.

The pullout is as expected. You cannot go head to head with China. You need to play smart.

So we lost round 1. Let's see what happen in round 2.

i keep wondering how bad was the hacking attack on google for them to react like this .... something is going on that we don't know about.

 

[failboat]

I wonder if China forces Baidu on them.

 

[gwellin]

Didn't I read a few months ago that google.cn generates over $1 billion in revenue. I would be really shocked if google is willing to write this off. How does the saying go about cutting your nose of dispite your face. They wont pull out.

 

[razorblaze42]

Yay Google, now only if the U.S. Government would do the same... I'd be so frackin happy.

5 years from now, people look back, saying "what's a big fuss about this?"

 

[josh jones]

google.com anyone I don't think google has too much to worry about.
before google.cn (restricted and useless) chinese used workarounds to access google.com (unrestricted and usefull). although, the dumb chinese are stuck with the worthless baidu serch.

finally
China is like a product regurgitating box. Ideas and money go in and products come out. Products are all that come out of china. I would love to see the global economy balance out, but that would only happen in a world where everybody actually cares about balance.

Actually, with China owning most of the U.S., I rewrote your tag in anticipation of the probable future:
5 years from now, people look back, saying "这正是这个上大做文章"

Meh i have mixed feeling i think google is one of the few things that the rural chinese has to get somewhat real outside info, if they lose that i feel they have no chance at individuality, they will fall even further into the govts plans...but on the other hand...screw them we cant baby sit them if their people dont fight for what they want then we shouldnt fight for them.
