Timely report from China

This BBC report from the Chinese official web measurer comes at a convenient time for Baidu.com as the market begins to lose interest in its shares.

Google loses China market share: "Search engine Google is under pressure in China and losing market share to local rival Baidu.com, a survey finds."

(Via BBC News | Asia-Pacific | World Edition.)

Less cynically, however, I have to concede that my research staff seem to have Baidu on their computer screen a lot more frequently than they do Google when researching China.
