Baidu Japan blocked

It must be a bit odd to be running China's leading Internet search business, darling of Nasdaq (sort of) and find part of your business blocked in your home country. But, that is what's happened to Baidu. According to Danwei, Baidu's new Japanese site is no longer accessible within China. Apparently, it had become a popular shortcut for Chinese users wishing to access porn and pictures of young men standing in front of tanks in Tiananmen Square.
