Is the Google Traffic In China Hijacked by Baidu?

This is a screenshot made by Reno Peng, a developer that works in China’s Internet Entrepreneurship.
This continues the Internet censorships in China, after the banned RSS feeds and computers in Universities, subjects we have discussed previously.

What you see is a page searched from a PC in an office from Shanghai, through blogsearch.google.com, the ISP being NYSE, the second in the top biggest providers from China.

Is the Google Traffic In China Hijacked by Baidu?


Baidu is the Chinese version of Google, and I’m not only saying that for the cloned interface but also for its number of users.
It indexes more than 740 million web pages, 10 million multimedia files and 80 million images.
Baidu has also an online encyclopedia, named Baidu Baike, and again I will say it is the Chinese version of Wikipedia.
MP3 Search is the most important feature of this web browser, through which people can find MP3s, WMAs and SWFs.

Baidu Chinese language version is filtering from its search results what the Chinese government considers controversial material.
