China’s Baidu edges ahead in top online market
Chinese search engine Baidu further strengthened its dominance of the world’s largest Internet market in the fourth quarter at the expense of US rival Google, a research firm said Wednesday.
Baidu’s share of the increasingly lucrative sector hit 75.5 per cent in the last three months of the year, compared with 73 per cent in the third quarter, Beijing-based Analysys International said in a statement.
Google saw its share of the Chinese search market continue to slide, falling to 19.6 per cent in the fourth quarter from 21.6 per cent in previous period.
I guess Baidu will say bai bai to it’s competitors from here on in!
