Google search engine has been officially banned in China since 2010, when the company refused to comply with government censorship and withdrew from the Chinese market. Baidu currently dominates the domestic search market.
There have been reports that Google is developing a special version of its search engine for China. In a post on his personal page on August 7, CEO Robin Li said that if the two companies faced off, “Baidu would win again.” “Chinese companies today have more capabilities and confidence” to compete globally, Baidu’s CEO added. A Baidu spokesperson confirmed the post was official.
