baidu is not a search engine

Baidu China Is Not A Search Engine Anymore

To be fair, Baidu search engine business is being run in a very different internet environment when we try comparing with Google and Bing etc global search engine, because information management is more strict under China Internet information legal policy. It’s not fair if you claim Baidu business model or product strategy has died. On the other hand, Baidu should be given a credit it can survive and be the top 1 of generic information search engine in China,when the search engine market competition is very very fierce. (Taobao/Tmall, OTA, Wechat social search engine etc). And Google extremely persists in its business model and product strategy, so it lost China domestic market in terms of search engine.
