Including\nautonomous driving\n(Baidu Apollo)\n[\n3\n]\n, smart\nconsumer electronics\n(Xiaodu).\n[\n4\n]\nand a full-service\nAI\nstack, including software, chips,\ncloud infrastructure\n,\nfoundation models\n, and applications.\n[\n5\n]\nA\nvariable interest entity\nfor Baidu to enable investment of foreign capital is incorporated in the\nCayman Islands\n.\n[\n2\n]\nBaidu was incorporated in January 2000 by\nRobin Li\nand\nEric Xu\n. Baidu has origins in RankDex, an earlier search engine developed by Robin Li in 1996, before he founded Baidu in 2000.\n[\n6\n]\nThe company is headquartered in\nBeijing\n's\nHaidian District\n.\n[\n7\n]\nIn December 2007, Baidu became the first Chinese company to be included in the\nNASDAQ-100\nindex.\n[\n8\n]\nAs of May 2018, Baidu's\nmarket cap\nrose to US$99 billion.\n[\n9\n]\n[\n10\n]\n[\n11\n]\nIn October 2018, Baidu became the first Chinese firm to join the United States–based computer ethics consortium\nPartnership on AI\n.\n[\n12\n]\nThe Chinese government views Baidu as one of its\nnational champion\ncorporations.\n[\n13\n]\n: 156–157 \nBaidu headquarters building completed in 2009\nIn 1994,\nRobin Li\n(\nPinyin\n: Li Yanhong,\nChinese\n:\n李彦宏\n) joined IDD Information Services, a\nNew Jersey\ndivision of\nDow Jones and Company\n, where he helped develop software for the online edition of\nThe Wall Street Journal\n.\n[\n14\n]\nHe also worked on developing better algorithms for search engines and remained at IDD Information Services from May 1994 to June 1997.\nIn 1996, while at IDD, Li developed the RankDex site-scoring algorithm for search engines results page ranking\n[\n6\n]\n[\n15\n]\n[\n16\n]\nand received a US patent for the technology.\n[\n17\n]\nLaunched in 1996,\n[\n6\n]\nRankDex was the first search engine that used hyperlinks to measure the quality of websites it was indexing.\n[\n18\n]\nLi referred to his search mechanism as \"link analysis,\" which involved ranking the popularity of a web site based on how many other sites had linked to it.\n[\n19\n]\nIt predated the similar\nPageRank\nalgorithm used by\nGoogle\ntwo years later in 1998;\n[\n20\n]\nGoogle founder\nLarry Page\nreferenced Li's work as a citation in some of his U.S. patents for PageRank.\n[\n6\n]\n[\n20\n]\n[\n21\n]\nLi later used his RankDex technology for the Baidu search engine.\nBaidu was incorporated on 18 January 2000 by Robin Li and\nEric Xu\n.\n[\n7\n]\nIn 2001, Baidu allowed advertisers to bid for ad space then pay Baidu every time a customer clicked on an ad, predating Google's approach to advertising.\n[\n19\n]\nIn 2003, Baidu launched a news search engine and picture search engine, adopting a special identification technology capable of identifying and grouping the articles.\n[\n22\n]\n2005: Public Listing on NASDAQ\n[\nedit\n]\nBaidu went public on Wall Street through a\nvariable interest entity\n(VIE) based in the\nCayman Islands\non 5 August 2005.\n[\n23\n]\nIn 2007,\nChinese government\nand\nChinese industry\nsources stated that Baidu received a license from Beijing, which allows the search engine to become a full-fledged news website. Thus Baidu is able to provide its own reports, besides showing certain results as a search engine. Baidu was the first Chinese search engine to receive such a license.\n[\n24\n]\nBaidu started its Japanese language search service, run by Baidu Japan, the company's first regular service outside of China in 2008.\n[\n25\n]\nThe Japanese search engine closed on 16 March 2015.\n[\n26\n]\nOn 31 July 2012, Baidu announced that it would team up with\nSina\nto provide mobile search results.\n[\n27\n]\nOn 18 November 2012, Baidu announced that it would be partnering with\nQualcomm\nto offer free cloud storage to\nAndroid\nusers with\nSnapdragon\nprocessors.\n[\n28\n]\nOn 2 August 2013, Baidu launched its Personal Assistant app, designed to help CEOs, managers and the white-collar workers manage their business relationships.\n[\n29\n]\nOn 16 May 2014, Baidu appointed\nDr. Andrew Ng\nas chief scientist. Dr. Ng will lead Baidu Research in Silicon Valley and Beijing.\n[\n30\n]\nOn 18 July 2014, the company launched a Brazilian version of the search engine,\nBaidu Busca\n.\n[\n31\n]\nOn 9 October 2014, Baidu announced acquisition of Brazilian local e-commerce site Peixe Urbano.\n[\n32\n]\n2017: Launch of Autonomous Driving Business\n[\nedit\n]\nIn April 2017, Baidu announced the launch of its\nApollo project (Apolong)\n, a self-driving vehicle platform, in a bid to help drive the development of\nautonomous cars\nincluding vehicle platform, hardware platform, open-source software platform and cloud data services.\n[\n33\n]\nBaidu plans to launch this project in July 2017, before gradually introducing fully autonomous driving capabilities on highways and open city roads by 2020.\n[\n34\n]\nIn September 2017, Baidu launched a $1.5billion autonomous driving fund to invest in as many as 100 autonomous driving projects over the ensuing three years.\n[\n35\n]\nAt the same time, Apollo open-source software version 1.5 was also launched.\n[\n36\n]\nIn June 2017, Baidu partnered with\nContinental\nand\nBosch\n, auto industry suppliers, on automated driving and connected cars.\n[\n37\n]\nIn July 2017, Baidu GBU entered into a partnership with\nSnap Inc.\nto act as the company's official ad reseller for Snapchat in\nGreater China\n,\nSouth Korea\n,\nJapan\nand\nSingapore\n.\n[\n38\n]\nThe partnership was extended in 2019.\n[\n39\n]\nIn September 2017, Baidu rolled out a new portable talking translator that can listen and speak in several different languages. Smaller than a typical smartphone, the 140-gram translation device can also be used as a portable Wi-Fi router and is able to operate on networks in 80 countries. It is still under development. Baidu will also be inserting artificial intelligence (AI) technology into smartphones, through its deep learning platform.\n[\n40\n]\n[\n41\n]\nAt the same period, it has also led a joint investment of US$12billion with\nAlibaba Group\n,\nTencent\n,\nJD.com\nand\nDidi Chuxing\n, acquiring 35% of\nChina Unicom\n's stakes.\n[\n42\n]\n[\n43\n]\n[\n44\n]\nIn October 2017, according to\nThe Wall Street Journal\n, Baidu would launch\nself-driving buses\nin China in 2018.\n[\n45\n]\n[\n46\n]\nIn the same month, Baidu announced that its first annual Baidu World technology conference (\nBring AI to Life\n) would be held and live-streamed on 16 November 2017, at China World Summit Wing and Kerry Hotel, bringing together Baidu executives, employees, partners, developers, and media to discuss the company's mission and strategy, technology breakthroughs, new product developments, and its open artificial-intelligence (AI) ecosystem.\n[\n47\n]\nChina's government designated Baidu as one of its \"AI\nchampions\n\" in 2018.\n[\n48\n]\n: 281 \nIn 2018, Baidu divested the \"Global DU business\" portion of its overseas business, which developed a series of utility apps including ES File Explorer, DU Caller, Mobojoy, Photo Wonder and DU Recorder, etc.\n[\n49\n]\nThis business now operates independently of Baidu under the name DO Global.\n[\n50\n]\n2021: Hong Kong Secondary Listing\n[\nedit\n]\nIn March 2021, Baidu secured a secondary listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, raising $3.1 billion. This marked the largest homecoming for a U.S.-traded Chinese company in Hong Kong since JD.com's listing the previous June.\nIn August 2021 Baidu revealed a new\nRobocar\nconcept said to be capable of Level 5 autonomous driving.\n[\n51\n]\nIt also comes with the latest second-generation AI chip that can analyse the internal and external surroundings to provide predictive suggestions to proactively serve the needs of passengers.\nIn June 2022,\nJidu Auto\n, an intelligent electric vehicle company originally backed by Baidu and Geely unveiled its first concept ROBO-01 in the form of a pre-production vehicle. The ROBO-01 rides on the\nSustainable Experience Architecture\n(SEA) platform, a modular electric vehicle platform developed by\nGeely Holding\n.\n[\n52\n]\nIn August 2023, Baidu publicly unveiled\nErnie Bot\n, its\nlarge language model\nchatbot\n.\n[\n53\n]\nIn October 2023, Baidu released a newer version Ernie 4.0 chatbot.\n[\n54\n]\nIn September 2023, the search engine launched a chatbot based on its\ngenerative AI\nmodel, GenAI Ernie.\n[\n55\n]\n[\n56\n]\nIn January 2026, Baidu filed a listing application on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for their semiconductor unit, Kunlunxin.\n[\n57\n]\nAs of April 2024, Apollo Go, Baidu's autonomous ride-hailing service, had completed six million rides using driverless robotaxis across 11 cities. The service operates a fleet of over 400 driverless vehicles in Wuhan.\n[\n58\n]\nIn July 2025, Baidu announced its partnership with Uber, allowing it to deploy the Apollo Go outside the U.S and mainland China.\n[\n59\n]\nDomain name redirection attack\n[\nedit\n]\nOn 12 January 2010, Baidu.com's DNS records in the United States were altered such that browsers to baidu.com were redirected to a website purporting to be the\nIranian Cyber Army\n, thought to be behind the attack on\nTwitter\nduring the\n2009 Iranian election protests\n, making the proper site unusable for four hours.\n[\n60\n]\nInternet users were met with a page saying \"This site has been attacked by Iranian Cyber Army\".\n[\n61\n]\nChinese hackers responded by attacking Iranian websites and leaving messages.\n[\n62\n]\nBaidu later launched legal action against\nRegister.com\nfor gross negligence after it was revealed that Register.com's technical support staff changed the email address for Baidu.com on the request of an unnamed individual, despite failing security verification procedures. Once the address had been changed, the individual was able to use the forgotten password feature to have Baidu's domain passwords sent directly to them, allowing them to accomplish the\ndomain hijacking\n.\n[\n63\n]\n[\n64\n]\nThe lawsuit was settled out of court under undisclosed terms after Register.com issued an apology.\n[\n65\n]\nOn 16 July 2013, Baidu announced its intention to purchase\n91 Wireless\nfrom\nNetDragon\n. 91 Wireless is best known for its app store, but it has been reported that the app store faces privacy and other legal issues.\n[\n66\n]\nOn 14 August 2013, Baidu announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Baidu (Hong Kong) Limited has signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire 91 Wireless Web-soft Limited from\nNetDragon\nWeb-soft Inc.\n[\n67\n]\nfor $1.85 billion in what was reported to be the biggest deal ever in China's IT sector.\n[\n68\n]\nAlso in 2013, Baidu acquired Zongheng to establish Baidu Literature.\n[\n69\n]\n: 26 \n2024: Artificial Intelligence Launch\n[\nedit\n]\nOn 16 March 2025, Baidu released two new artificial intelligence models: ERNIE 4.5, a foundation model, and ERNIE X1, a reasoning model. Baidu claimed that ERNIE X1 performs comparably to\nDeepSeek\n's R1 model at half the price.\n[\n70\n]\nThe name\nBaidu\n(\n百度\n) literally means \"a hundred times\", or alternatively, \"countless times\". It is a quote from the last line of\nXin Qiji\n's (\n辛弃疾\n) classical poem \"Green Jade Table in The Lantern Festival\" (\n青玉案·元夕\n) saying: \"Having searched hundreds of times in the crowd, suddenly turning back, she is there in the dimmest candlelight.\" (\n众里寻他千\n百度\n, 蓦然回首, 那人却在灯火阑珊处。\n)\n[\n71\n]\n[\n72\n]\nQunar\n(Qunar Cayman Islands Limited), is a travel-booking service controlled by Baidu. As of 2013, Qunar had 31.4 million active users and raised $167 Million at its\ninitial public offering\nthat year.\n[\n73\n]\nIt is listed at NASDAQ.\n[\n74\n]\nBaidu's primary advertising product is called Baidu Tuiguang and is similar to\nGoogle Ads\nand\nAdSense\n. It is a\npay per click\nadvertising platform that allows advertisers to have their ads shown in Baidu search results pages and on other websites that are part of Baidu Union. However, Baidu's search results are also based on payments by advertisers. This has prompted criticism and skepticism among Chinese users, with\nPeople's Daily\ncommenting in 2018 on issues regarding reliability of Baidu results. Often as many as the first two pages of search results tend to be paid advertisers.\n[\n75\n]\nBaidu sells its advertising products via a network of resellers.\n[\n76\n]\nBaidu's web administrative tools are all in Chinese, making it difficult for non-Chinese speakers to use. In 2012, a third-party company developed a tool with an interface in English for advertising on Baidu.\n[\n77\n]\n[\n78\n]\nAdvertisers on Baidu must have a registered business address either in China or in specified East Asian countries.\n[\n79\n]\nBaidu\n[\n80\n]\ncompetes with\nSogou\n,\nGoogle Search\n,\n360\nSearch (www.so.com),\nYahoo! China\n,\nMicrosoft\n's\nBing\nand\nMSN Messenger\n,\nSina\n,\nNetEase\n's\nYoudao\nand PaiPai,\nAlibaba\n's\nTaobao\n,\nTOM Online\n,\nDuckDuckGo\n, and\nEachNet\n.\nBaidu is the most used search engine in China, controlling 76.05 percent of China's market share. The\nnumber of Internet users\nin China had reached 705 million by the end of 2015, according to a report by the internetlivestats.com.\n[\n81\n]\nIn an August 2010\nWall Street Journal\narticle,\n[\n82\n]\nBaidu played down its benefit from\nGoogle\n's having moved its China search service to\nHong Kong\n, but Baidu's share of revenue in China's search-advertising market grew six percentage points in the second quarter to 70%, according to Beijing-based research firm Analysys International.\nIt is also evident that Baidu is attempting to enter the Internet social network market. As of 2011\n, it is discussing the possibility of working with Facebook, which would lead to a Chinese version of the international social network, managed by Baidu.\n[\n83\n]\nThis plan, if executed, would face off Baidu with competition from the three popular Chinese social networks\nQzone\n,\nRenren\n[\n84\n]\nand\nKaixin001\n[\n85\n]\nas well as induce rivalry with instant-messaging giant,\nTencent QQ\n.\n[\n86\n]\nOn 22 February 2012,\nHudong\nsubmitted a complaint to the\nState Administration for Industry and Commerce\nasking for a review of the behavior of Baidu, accusing it of being monopolistic.\n[\n87\n]\nBy August 2014, Baidu's search market share in China dropped to 56.3%, where Qihoo 360, its closest competitor who has rebranded its search engine as so.com, has increased its market share to 29.0%, according to report from CNZZ.com.\n[\n88\n]\nIn February 2015, Baidu was alleged to have used anticompetitive tactics in Brazil against the Brazilian online security firm PSafe and\nQihoo 360\n(the largest investor of PSafe).\n[\n89\n]\n[\n90\n]\nIn an ongoing competition in AI natural language processing called\nGeneral Language Understanding Evaluation\n, otherwise known as GLUE, Baidu took a lead over Microsoft and Google in December 2019.\n[\n91\n]\nResearch and patents\n[\nedit\n]\nBaidu has started to invest in\ndeep learning\nresearch and is integrating new deep learning technology into some of its apps and products, including Phoenix Nest. Phoenix Nest is Baidu's ad-bidding platform.\n[\n92\n]\nIn April 2012 Baidu JDC long live applied for a patent for its \"DNA copyright recognition\" technology. This technology automatically scans files that are uploaded by Internet users, and recognizes and filters out content that may violate copyright law. This allows Baidu to offer an infringement-free platform.\n[\n93\n]\n[\n94\n]\nIn April 2022, Baidu announced they gained permits from China to provide the first driverless taxis. The company aim to provide driverless ride-hailing services to the public and have 10 autonomous cars set to begin offering rides to passengers within a 23-square-mile area in suburban begin beginning 28 April 2022.\n[\n95\n]\nIn July 2022, Baidu unveiled the\nApollo RT6\n, a driverless vehicle that is planned to join Baidu's driverless fleet in 2023.\n[\n96\n]\nThe key trends for Baidu are (as of the financial year ending December 31)\nRevenue\n(CNY millions)\nRevenue by source\nNet income\n(CNY millions)\nTotal assets\n(CNY millions)\nTotal equity\n(CNY millions)\nEmployees\n[\n97\n]\nOnline marketing\n(CNY millions)\nother sources\n(CNY millions)\n2015\n[\n98\n]\n66,382\n64,037\n2,345\n33,664\n147,853\n80,256\n41,467\n2016\n[\n98\n]\n70,549\n64,525\n6,024\n11,632\n181,997\n92,274\n45,887\n2017\n[\n98\n]\n84,809\n73,146\n11,663\n18,301\n251,728\n115,346\n39,343\n2018\n[\n98\n]\n102,277\n81,912\n20,365\n27,573\n297,566\n162,897\n42,267\n2019\n[\n98\n]\n107,413\n78,093\n29,320\n2,057\n301,316\n163,599\n37,779\n2020\n[\n99\n]\n107,074\n72,840\n34,234\n22,472\n332,708\n140,865\n41,000\n2021\n[\n99\n]\n124,493\n80,695\n43,798\n10,226\n380,034\n156,082\n45,500\n2022\n[\n99\n]\n123,675\n74,711\n48,964\n7,559\n390,973\n153,168\n41,300\n2023\n[\n99\n]\n134,598\n81,203\n53,395\n20,315\n406,759\n144,151\n39,800\n2024\n[\n99\n]\n133,125\n78,563\n54,562\n23,760\n427,780\n144,168\n35,900\nAccording to the\nChina Digital Times\n, Baidu has a long history of being the most active and restrictive online censor in the search arena. Documents leaked in April 2009 from an employee in Baidu's internal monitoring and censorship department show a long list of blocked websites and censored topics on Baidu search.\n[\n100\n]\nIn May 2011, activists sued Baidu in the United States for violating the U.S. Constitution by the censorship it conducts in accord with the demand of the Chinese government.\n[\n101\n]\nA U.S. judge has ruled\n[\n102\n]\nthat the Chinese search engine Baidu has the right to block works from its query results under\nfreedom of speech\nrights, dismissing a lawsuit that sought to punish the company.\n[\n103\n]\n[\n104\n]\nIn 2017, Baidu began coordinating with the Chinese\nMinistry of Public Security\nas well as 372 Internet police departments to detect information related to \"anti-government rumors\" and then flooding \"Baidu-linked web sites, news sites and devices with alerts dispelling misinformation.\"\n[\n105\n]\nThis was done using\nnatural language processing\n, big data and artificial intelligence.\n[\n105\n]\nAs part of the\nCOVID-19 pandemic\n, Chinese regulators instructed Baidu, along with other Internet companies, to \"conduct special supervision\" on news and information related to the\ndisease\n.\n[\n106\n]\nIn November 2022,\nSustainalytics\ndowngraded Baidu to \"non-compliant\" with the\nUnited Nations Global Compact\nprinciples due to complicity with censorship.\n[\n107\n]\nIn 2016, Baidu's P4P search results reportedly contributed to the death of a student who tried an experimental cancer therapy he found online. The 21-year-old college student was named Wèi Zéxī (魏则西), who studied in\nXidian University\n. Wei was diagnosed with\nsynovial sarcoma\n, a rare form of cancer. He found the Second Hospital of the Beijing Armed Police Corps (武警北京市总队第二医院) through the search engine Baidu, on which the hospital had been promoting itself.\n[\n108\n]\nThe treatment proved unsuccessful and Wèi died in April 2016.\n[\n108\n]\nAfter Wei's family spent around 200,000 yuan (around US$31,150) for treatment in the hospital, Wei Zexi died on 12 April 2016. The incident triggered massive online discussions after Wei's death.\n[\n109\n]\nOn 2 May 2016,\nCyberspace Administration of China\n(CAC), the top watchdog for China's Internet space, dispatched a team of investigators to Baidu.\n[\n110\n]\nThe case is still ongoing. One report claimed medical advertising makes up for 30% of Baidu's ad revenue, much of which comes from for-profit hospitals that belong to the \"Putian Network\", a collection of hospitals across the country founded by medical entrepreneurs associated with the\nPutian\nregion of Fujian province.\n[\n111\n]\nThe investigation led Chinese regulators to impose several restrictions on Baidu, including adding disclaimers to promotional content and establishing channels for complaints about Baidu services.\n[\n112\n]\nIn addition, Baidu's search function now largely directs users to contents published on platforms under Baidu's control, Chinese media scholar Fang Kecheng to proclaim that \"Search engine Baidu is dead\".\n[\n113\n]\nCommercialization of Tieba\n[\nedit\n]\nBaidu sold the hemophilia online community, one of the communities of\nTieba\n, to unqualified hospitals. In January 2016, Baidu announced that it will stop selling all of its illness-related Tieba.\n[\n114\n]\nOn 12 January, Baidu officially announced to the public that all Baidu Tieba for all types of diseases will completely stop commercial cooperation and will only be open to authoritative public welfare organizations. In response to Baidu's decision, Lin Jinlong, president of the Hunan Medical and Health Industry Association, said that private hospitals have entered a period of industry transformation and upgrading, and are neither dependent on posting bar ads nor counting on competitive rankings anymore, so Baidu's decision will not have a negative impact on the industry.\n[\n115\n]\nDO Global subsidiary ad-fraud in downloaded apps\n[\nedit\n]\nOn 20 April 2019, it was reported that several applications for\nAndroid\ndevices developed by the subsidiary company, DO Global (formerly DU Group), were surreptitiously running revenue enhancing background programs on user devices since at least 2016.\n[\n116\n]\nThese programs, part of six known applications developed by the company, and downloaded hundreds of millions times, were\nclicking on internet ads\n– even when the devices were idle, and unbeknownst to\nend users\n, to increase\nrevenue generated by \"clicks\"\n.\n[\n116\n]\nJust one of the apps, all of which were available on\nGoogle Play Store\n, had been downloaded 50 million times alone and carried a user rating of 4.5 stars by tens of thousands.\n[\n116\n]\nGoogle banned DO Global and more than 100 of its apps from the\nGoogle Play Store\non 26 April 2019.\n[\n117\n]\n[\n118\n]\nDO Global was also banned from\nGoogle's AdMob\nNetwork.\n[\n117\n]\nApps from another developer, ES Global, including the\nES File Explorer\n, that were owned by DO Global were banned from the Play Store and the account was suspended.\n[\n119\n]\n[\n120\n]\n[\n121\n]\n[\n122\n]\n[\n123\n]\n[\n124\n]\n[\n125\n]\nIn August 2020, following the\n2020 China–India skirmishes\n, Baidu was one of several Chinese websites that were banned or blocked in India for national security reasons.\n[\n126\n]\n2024 head of communications controversy\n[\nedit\n]\nIn May 2024, Baidu's former vice president and head of communications\nQu Jing\n [\nzh\n]\n(\nChinese\n:\n璩静\n) sparked major backlashes across the Chinese social media for endorsing toxic workplace culture, where, according to a\nDouyin\nvideo, she has asked a coworker to be on a 50-day business trip during the\nCOVID-19 pandemic\n.\n[\n127\n]\nThe report has aroused further discussions amongst Chinese\nnetizens\nregarding Baidu's corporate governance and internal culture. Qu openly apologized after the incident and has allegedly lost her job. Baidu’s stock price fell 2.17% in Hong Kong following the incident.\n[\n128\n]\n[\n129\n]\nPanguso\nTencent\nSogou\nAlibaba\nGoogle\nIntellectual property in the People's Republic of China\nSoftware industry in China\nComparison of web search engines\nList of search engines\nList of search engines by popularity\n^\n\"Baidu – Investors – Management\"\n.

He found the Second Hospital of the Beijing Armed Police Corps (武警北京市总队第二医院) through the search engine Baidu, on which the hospital had been promoting itself.[\\[108\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:8-108) The treatment proved unsuccessful and Wèi died in April 2016.[\\[108\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:8-108)\n\nAfter Wei's family spent around 200,000 yuan (around US\\$31,150) for treatment in the hospital, Wei Zexi died on 12 April 2016. The incident triggered massive online discussions after Wei's death.[\\[109\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-109) On 2 May 2016, [Cyberspace Administration of China](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cyberspace_Administration_of_China \"Cyberspace Administration of China\") (CAC), the top watchdog for China's Internet space, dispatched a team of investigators to Baidu.[\\[110\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-110) The case is still ongoing. One report claimed medical advertising makes up for 30% of Baidu's ad revenue, much of which comes from for-profit hospitals that belong to the \"Putian Network\", a collection of hospitals across the country founded by medical entrepreneurs associated with the [Putian](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Putian \"Putian\") region of Fujian province.[\\[111\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-111) The investigation led Chinese regulators to impose several restrictions on Baidu, including adding disclaimers to promotional content and establishing channels for complaints about Baidu services.[\\[112\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-112) In addition, Baidu's search function now largely directs users to contents published on platforms under Baidu's control, Chinese media scholar Fang Kecheng to proclaim that \"Search engine Baidu is dead\".[\\[113\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-113)\n\n### Commercialization of Tieba\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=19 \"Edit section: Commercialization of Tieba\")\\]\n\nBaidu sold the hemophilia online community, one of the communities of [Tieba](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu_Tieba \"Baidu Tieba\"), to unqualified hospitals. In January 2016, Baidu announced that it will stop selling all of its illness-related Tieba.[\\[114\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-114) On 12 January, Baidu officially announced to the public that all Baidu Tieba for all types of diseases will completely stop commercial cooperation and will only be open to authoritative public welfare organizations. In response to Baidu's decision, Lin Jinlong, president of the Hunan Medical and Health Industry Association, said that private hospitals have entered a period of industry transformation and upgrading, and are neither dependent on posting bar ads nor counting on competitive rankings anymore, so Baidu's decision will not have a negative impact on the industry.[\\[115\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-115)\n\n### DO Global subsidiary ad-fraud in downloaded apps\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=20 \"Edit section: DO Global subsidiary ad-fraud in downloaded apps\")\\]\n\nOn 20 April 2019, it was reported that several applications for [Android](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Android_\$operating_system\$ \"Android (operating system)\") devices developed by the subsidiary company, DO Global (formerly DU Group), were surreptitiously running revenue enhancing background programs on user devices since at least 2016.[\\[116\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-Silver-116) These programs, part of six known applications developed by the company, and downloaded hundreds of millions times, were [clicking on internet ads](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Confused_deputy_problem \"Confused deputy problem\") – even when the devices were idle, and unbeknownst to [end users](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/End_users \"End users\"), to increase [revenue generated by \"clicks\"](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pay-per-click \"Pay-per-click\").[\\[116\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-Silver-116) Just one of the apps, all of which were available on [Google Play Store](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Google_Play_Store \"Google Play Store\"), had been downloaded 50 million times alone and carried a user rating of 4.5 stars by tens of thousands.[\\[116\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-Silver-116)\n\nGoogle banned DO Global and more than 100 of its apps from the [Google Play Store](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Google_Play_Store \"Google Play Store\") on 26 April 2019.[\\[117\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:0-117)[\\[118\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-118) DO Global was also banned from [Google's AdMob](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/AdMob \"AdMob\") Network.[\\[117\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:0-117) Apps from another developer, ES Global, including the [ES File Explorer](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ES_File_Explorer \"ES File Explorer\"), that were owned by DO Global were banned from the Play Store and the account was suspended.[\\[119\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:2-119)[\\[120\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:3-120)[\\[121\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:4-121)[\\[122\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-122)[\\[123\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:5-123)[\\[124\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:6-124)[\\[125\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:7-125)\n\n### Block in India\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=21 \"Edit section: Block in India\")\\]\n\nIn August 2020, following the [2020 China–India skirmishes](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2020_China%E2%80%93India_skirmishes \"2020 China–India skirmishes\"), Baidu was one of several Chinese websites that were banned or blocked in India for national security reasons.[\\[126\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-126)\n\n### 2024 head of communications controversy\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=22 \"Edit section: 2024 head of communications controversy\")\\]\n\nIn May 2024, Baidu's former vice president and head of communications [Qu Jing](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Qu_Jing&action=edit&redlink=1 \"Qu Jing (page does not exist)\") \\[[zh](https:\/\/zh.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%E7%92%A9%E9%9D%9C \"zh:璩靜\")\\] ([Chinese](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chinese_language \"Chinese language\"): 璩静) sparked major backlashes across the Chinese social media for endorsing toxic workplace culture, where, according to a [Douyin](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/TikTok \"TikTok\") video, she has asked a coworker to be on a 50-day business trip during the [COVID-19 pandemic](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/COVID-19_pandemic \"COVID-19 pandemic\").[\\[127\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-127) The report has aroused further discussions amongst Chinese [netizens](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Netizen \"Netizen\") regarding Baidu's corporate governance and internal culture.

In response to Baidu's decision, Lin Jinlong, president of the Hunan Medical and Health Industry Association, said that private hospitals have entered a period of industry transformation and upgrading, and are neither dependent on posting bar ads nor counting on competitive rankings anymore, so Baidu's decision will not have a negative impact on the industry.[\\[115\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-115)\n\n### DO Global subsidiary ad-fraud in downloaded apps\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=20 \"Edit section: DO Global subsidiary ad-fraud in downloaded apps\")\\]\n\nOn 20 April 2019, it was reported that several applications for [Android](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Android_\$operating_system\$ \"Android (operating system)\") devices developed by the subsidiary company, DO Global (formerly DU Group), were surreptitiously running revenue enhancing background programs on user devices since at least 2016.[\\[116\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-Silver-116) These programs, part of six known applications developed by the company, and downloaded hundreds of millions times, were [clicking on internet ads](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Confused_deputy_problem \"Confused deputy problem\") – even when the devices were idle, and unbeknownst to [end users](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/End_users \"End users\"), to increase [revenue generated by \"clicks\"](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Pay-per-click \"Pay-per-click\").[\\[116\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-Silver-116) Just one of the apps, all of which were available on [Google Play Store](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Google_Play_Store \"Google Play Store\"), had been downloaded 50 million times alone and carried a user rating of 4.5 stars by tens of thousands.[\\[116\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-Silver-116)\n\nGoogle banned DO Global and more than 100 of its apps from the [Google Play Store](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Google_Play_Store \"Google Play Store\") on 26 April 2019.[\\[117\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:0-117)[\\[118\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-118) DO Global was also banned from [Google's AdMob](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/AdMob \"AdMob\") Network.[\\[117\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:0-117) Apps from another developer, ES Global, including the [ES File Explorer](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ES_File_Explorer \"ES File Explorer\"), that were owned by DO Global were banned from the Play Store and the account was suspended.[\\[119\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:2-119)[\\[120\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:3-120)[\\[121\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:4-121)[\\[122\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-122)[\\[123\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:5-123)[\\[124\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:6-124)[\\[125\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-:7-125)\n\nIn August 2020, following the [2020 China–India skirmishes](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2020_China%E2%80%93India_skirmishes \"2020 China–India skirmishes\"), Baidu was one of several Chinese websites that were banned or blocked in India for national security reasons.[\\[126\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-126)\n\n### 2024 head of communications controversy\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=22 \"Edit section: 2024 head of communications controversy\")\\]\n\nIn May 2024, Baidu's former vice president and head of communications [Qu Jing](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Qu_Jing&action=edit&redlink=1 \"Qu Jing (page does not exist)\") \\[[zh](https:\/\/zh.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/%E7%92%A9%E9%9D%9C \"zh:璩靜\")\\] ([Chinese](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chinese_language \"Chinese language\"): 璩静) sparked major backlashes across the Chinese social media for endorsing toxic workplace culture, where, according to a [Douyin](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/TikTok \"TikTok\") video, she has asked a coworker to be on a 50-day business trip during the [COVID-19 pandemic](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/COVID-19_pandemic \"COVID-19 pandemic\").[\\[127\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baidu#cite_note-127) The report has aroused further discussions amongst Chinese [netizens](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Netizen \"Netizen\") regarding Baidu's corporate governance and internal culture.

( BY -doo ; Chinese : 百度 ; pinyin : Bǎidù ; lit. 'hundred times') is a Chinese multinational technology company specializing in Internet services and artificial intelligence . It holds a dominant position in China's search engine market (via Baidu Search), and provides a wide variety of other internet services such as Baidu App (Baidu's flagship app for search and newsfeed), Baidu Baike (an online user created Wikipedia -like encyclopedia ), iQIYI (a video streaming service), and Baidu Tieba (a forum platform similar to Reddit ). Besides its core internet search business, Baidu has also diversified into other areas. Including autonomous driving (Baidu Apollo) [ 3 ] , smart consumer electronics (Xiaodu). [ 4 ] and a full-service AI stack, including software, chips, cloud infrastructure , foundation models , and applications. [ 5 ] A variable interest entity for Baidu to enable investment of foreign capital is incorporated in the Cayman Islands . [ 2 ] Baidu was incorporated in January 2000 by Robin Li and Eric Xu . Baidu has origins in RankDex, an earlier search engine developed by Robin Li in 1996, before he founded Baidu in 2000. [ 6 ] The company is headquartered in Beijing 's Haidian District . [ 7 ] In December 2007, Baidu became the first Chinese company to be included in the NASDAQ-100 index. [ 8 ] As of May 2018, Baidu's market cap rose to US$99 billion. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] [ 11 ] In October 2018, Baidu became the first Chinese firm to join the United States–based computer ethics consortium Partnership on AI . [ 12 ] The Chinese government views Baidu as one of its national champion corporations. [ 13 ] : 156–157 Baidu headquarters building completed in 2009 In 1994, Robin Li ( Pinyin : Li Yanhong, Chinese : 李彦宏 ) joined IDD Information Services, a New Jersey division of Dow Jones and Company , where he helped develop software for the online edition of The Wall Street Journal . [ 14 ] He also worked on developing better algorithms for search engines and remained at IDD Information Services from May 1994 to June 1997. In 1996, while at IDD, Li developed the RankDex site-scoring algorithm for search engines results page ranking [ 6 ] [ 15 ] [ 16 ] and received a US patent for the technology. [ 17 ] Launched in 1996, [ 6 ] RankDex was the first search engine that used hyperlinks to measure the quality of websites it was indexing. [ 18 ] Li referred to his search mechanism as "link analysis," which involved ranking the popularity of a web site based on how many other sites had linked to it. [ 19 ] It predated the similar PageRank algorithm used by Google two years later in 1998; [ 20 ] Google founder Larry Page referenced Li's work as a citation in some of his U.S. patents for PageRank. [ 6 ] [ 20 ] [ 21 ] Li later used his RankDex technology for the Baidu search engine. Baidu was incorporated on 18 January 2000 by Robin Li and Eric Xu . [ 7 ] In 2001, Baidu allowed advertisers to bid for ad space then pay Baidu every time a customer clicked on an ad, predating Google's approach to advertising. [ 19 ] In 2003, Baidu launched a news search engine and picture search engine, adopting a special identification technology capable of identifying and grouping the articles. [ 22 ] 2005: Public Listing on NASDAQ [ edit ] Baidu went public on Wall Street through a variable interest entity (VIE) based in the Cayman Islands on 5 August 2005. [ 23 ] In 2007, Chinese government and Chinese industry sources stated that Baidu received a license from Beijing, which allows the search engine to become a full-fledged news website. Thus Baidu is able to provide its own reports, besides showing certain results as a search engine. Baidu was the first Chinese search engine to receive such a license. [ 24 ] Baidu started its Japanese language search service, run by Baidu Japan, the company's first regular service outside of China in 2008. [ 25 ] The Japanese search engine closed on 16 March 2015. [ 26 ] On 31 July 2012, Baidu announced that it would team up with Sina to provide mobile search results. [ 27 ] On 18 November 2012, Baidu announced that it would be partnering with Qualcomm to offer free cloud storage to Android users with Snapdragon processors. [ 28 ] On 2 August 2013, Baidu launched its Personal Assistant app, designed to help CEOs, managers and the white-collar workers manage their business relationships. [ 29 ] On 16 May 2014, Baidu appointed Dr. Andrew Ng as chief scientist. Dr. Ng will lead Baidu Research in Silicon Valley and Beijing. [ 30 ] On 18 July 2014, the company launched a Brazilian version of the search engine, Baidu Busca . [ 31 ] On 9 October 2014, Baidu announced acquisition of Brazilian local e-commerce site Peixe Urbano. [ 32 ] 2017: Launch of Autonomous Driving Business [ edit ] In April 2017, Baidu announced the launch of its Apollo project (Apolong) , a self-driving vehicle platform, in a bid to help drive the development of autonomous cars including vehicle platform, hardware platform, open-source software platform and cloud data services. [ 33 ] Baidu plans to launch this project in July 2017, before gradually introducing fully autonomous driving capabilities on highways and open city roads by 2020. [ 34 ] In September 2017, Baidu launched a $1.5billion autonomous driving fund to invest in as many as 100 autonomous driving projects over the ensuing three years. [ 35 ] At the same time, Apollo open-source software version 1.5 was also launched. [ 36 ] In June 2017, Baidu partnered with Continental and Bosch , auto industry suppliers, on automated driving and connected cars. [ 37 ] In July 2017, Baidu GBU entered into a partnership with Snap Inc. to act as the company's official ad reseller for Snapchat in Greater China , South Korea , Japan and Singapore . [ 38 ] The partnership was extended in 2019. [ 39 ] In September 2017, Baidu rolled out a new portable talking translator that can listen and speak in several different languages. Smaller than a typical smartphone, the 140-gram translation device can also be used as a portable Wi-Fi router and is able to operate on networks in 80 countries. It is still under development. Baidu will also be inserting artificial intelligence (AI) technology into smartphones, through its deep learning platform. [ 40 ] [ 41 ] At the same period, it has also led a joint investment of US$12billion with Alibaba Group , Tencent , JD.com and Didi Chuxing , acquiring 35% of China Unicom 's stakes. [ 42 ] [ 43 ] [ 44 ] In October 2017, according to The Wall Street Journal , Baidu would launch self-driving buses in China in 2018. [ 45 ] [ 46 ] In the same month, Baidu announced that its first annual Baidu World technology conference ( Bring AI to Life ) would be held and live-streamed on 16 November 2017, at China World Summit Wing and Kerry Hotel, bringing together Baidu executives, employees, partners, developers, and media to discuss the company's mission and strategy, technology breakthroughs, new product developments, and its open artificial-intelligence (AI) ecosystem. [ 47 ] China's government designated Baidu as one of its "AI champions " in 2018. [ 48 ] : 281 In 2018, Baidu divested the "Global DU business" portion of its overseas business, which developed a series of utility apps including ES File Explorer, DU Caller, Mobojoy, Photo Wonder and DU Recorder, etc. [ 49 ] This business now operates independently of Baidu under the name DO Global. [ 50 ] 2021: Hong Kong Secondary Listing [ edit ] In March 2021, Baidu secured a secondary listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, raising $3.1 billion. This marked the largest homecoming for a U.S.-traded Chinese company in Hong Kong since JD.com's listing the previous June. In August 2021 Baidu revealed a new Robocar concept said to be capable of Level 5 autonomous driving. [ 51 ] It also comes with the latest second-generation AI chip that can analyse the internal and external surroundings to provide predictive suggestions to proactively serve the needs of passengers. In June 2022, Jidu Auto , an intelligent electric vehicle company originally backed by Baidu and Geely unveiled its first concept ROBO-01 in the form of a pre-production vehicle. The ROBO-01 rides on the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) platform, a modular electric vehicle platform developed by Geely Holding . [ 52 ] In August 2023, Baidu publicly unveiled Ernie Bot , its large language model chatbot . [ 53 ] In October 2023, Baidu released a newer version Ernie 4.0 chatbot. [ 54 ] In September 2023, the search engine launched a chatbot based on its generative AI model, GenAI Ernie. [ 55 ] [ 56 ] In January 2026, Baidu filed a listing application on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for their semiconductor unit, Kunlunxin. [ 57 ] As of April 2024, Apollo Go, Baidu's autonomous ride-hailing service, had completed six million rides using driverless robotaxis across 11 cities. The service operates a fleet of over 400 driverless vehicles in Wuhan. [ 58 ] In July 2025, Baidu announced its partnership with Uber, allowing it to deploy the Apollo Go outside the U.S and mainland China. [ 59 ] Domain name redirection attack [ edit ] On 12 January 2010, Baidu.com's DNS records in the United States were altered such that browsers to baidu.com were redirected to a website purporting to be the Iranian Cyber Army , thought to be behind the attack on Twitter during the 2009 Iranian election protests , making the proper site unusable for four hours. [ 60 ] Internet users were met with a page saying "This site has been attacked by Iranian Cyber Army". [ 61 ] Chinese hackers responded by attacking Iranian websites and leaving messages. [ 62 ] Baidu later launched legal action against Register.com for gross negligence after it was revealed that Register.com's technical support staff changed the email address for Baidu.com on the request of an unnamed individual, despite failing security verification procedures. Once the address had been changed, the individual was able to use the forgotten password feature to have Baidu's domain passwords sent directly to them, allowing them to accomplish the domain hijacking . [ 63 ] [ 64 ] The lawsuit was settled out of court under undisclosed terms after Register.com issued an apology. [ 65 ] On 16 July 2013, Baidu announced its intention to purchase 91 Wireless from NetDragon . 91 Wireless is best known for its app store, but it has been reported that the app store faces privacy and other legal issues. [ 66 ] On 14 August 2013, Baidu announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Baidu (Hong Kong) Limited has signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire 91 Wireless Web-soft Limited from NetDragon Web-soft Inc. [ 67 ] for $1.85 billion in what was reported to be the biggest deal ever in China's IT sector. [ 68 ] Also in 2013, Baidu acquired Zongheng to establish Baidu Literature. [ 69 ] : 26 2024: Artificial Intelligence Launch [ edit ] On 16 March 2025, Baidu released two new artificial intelligence models: ERNIE 4.5, a foundation model, and ERNIE X1, a reasoning model. Baidu claimed that ERNIE X1 performs comparably to DeepSeek 's R1 model at half the price. [ 70 ] The name Baidu ( 百度 ) literally means "a hundred times", or alternatively, "countless times". It is a quote from the last line of Xin Qiji 's ( 辛弃疾 ) classical poem "Green Jade Table in The Lantern Festival" ( 青玉案·元夕 ) saying: "Having searched hundreds of times in the crowd, suddenly turning back, she is there in the dimmest candlelight." ( 众里寻他千百度 , 蓦然回首, 那人却在灯火阑珊处。 ) [ 71 ] [ 72 ] Qunar (Qunar Cayman Islands Limited), is a travel-booking service controlled by Baidu. As of 2013, Qunar had 31.4 million active users and raised $167 Million at its initial public offering that year. [ 73 ] It is listed at NASDAQ. [ 74 ] Baidu's primary advertising product is called Baidu Tuiguang and is similar to Google Ads and AdSense . It is a pay per click advertising platform that allows advertisers to have their ads shown in Baidu search results pages and on other websites that are part of Baidu Union. However, Baidu's search results are also based on payments by advertisers. This has prompted criticism and skepticism among Chinese users, with People's Daily commenting in 2018 on issues regarding reliability of Baidu results. Often as many as the first two pages of search results tend to be paid advertisers. [ 75 ] Baidu sells its advertising products via a network of resellers. [ 76 ] Baidu's web administrative tools are all in Chinese, making it difficult for non-Chinese speakers to use. In 2012, a third-party company developed a tool with an interface in English for advertising on Baidu. [ 77 ] [ 78 ] Advertisers on Baidu must have a registered business address either in China or in specified East Asian countries. [ 79 ] Baidu [ 80 ] competes with Sogou , Google Search , 360 Search (www.so.com), Yahoo! China , Microsoft 's Bing and MSN Messenger , Sina , NetEase 's Youdao and PaiPai, Alibaba 's Taobao , TOM Online , DuckDuckGo , and EachNet . Baidu is the most used search engine in China, controlling 76.05 percent of China's market share. The number of Internet users in China had reached 705 million by the end of 2015, according to a report by the internetlivestats.com. [ 81 ] In an August 2010 Wall Street Journal article, [ 82 ] Baidu played down its benefit from Google 's having moved its China search service to Hong Kong , but Baidu's share of revenue in China's search-advertising market grew six percentage points in the second quarter to 70%, according to Beijing-based research firm Analysys International. It is also evident that Baidu is attempting to enter the Internet social network market. As of 2011 , it is discussing the possibility of working with Facebook, which would lead to a Chinese version of the international social network, managed by Baidu. [ 83 ] This plan, if executed, would face off Baidu with competition from the three popular Chinese social networks Qzone , Renren [ 84 ] and Kaixin001 [ 85 ] as well as induce rivalry with instant-messaging giant, Tencent QQ . [ 86 ] On 22 February 2012, Hudong submitted a complaint to the State Administration for Industry and Commerce asking for a review of the behavior of Baidu, accusing it of being monopolistic. [ 87 ] By August 2014, Baidu's search market share in China dropped to 56.3%, where Qihoo 360, its closest competitor who has rebranded its search engine as so.com, has increased its market share to 29.0%, according to report from CNZZ.com. [ 88 ] In February 2015, Baidu was alleged to have used anticompetitive tactics in Brazil against the Brazilian online security firm PSafe and Qihoo 360 (the largest investor of PSafe). [ 89 ] [ 90 ] In an ongoing competition in AI natural language processing called General Language Understanding Evaluation , otherwise known as GLUE, Baidu took a lead over Microsoft and Google in December 2019. [ 91 ] Research and patents [ edit ] Baidu has started to invest in deep learning research and is integrating new deep learning technology into some of its apps and products, including Phoenix Nest. Phoenix Nest is Baidu's ad-bidding platform. [ 92 ] In April 2012 Baidu JDC long live applied for a patent for its "DNA copyright recognition" technology. This technology automatically scans files that are uploaded by Internet users, and recognizes and filters out content that may violate copyright law. This allows Baidu to offer an infringement-free platform. [ 93 ] [ 94 ] In April 2022, Baidu announced they gained permits from China to provide the first driverless taxis. The company aim to provide driverless ride-hailing services to the public and have 10 autonomous cars set to begin offering rides to passengers within a 23-square-mile area in suburban begin beginning 28 April 2022. [ 95 ] In July 2022, Baidu unveiled the Apollo RT6 , a driverless vehicle that is planned to join Baidu's driverless fleet in 2023. [ 96 ] The key trends for Baidu are (as of the financial year ending December 31) Revenue (CNY millions) Revenue by source Net income (CNY millions) Total assets (CNY millions) Total equity (CNY millions) Employees [ 97 ] Online marketing (CNY millions) other sources (CNY millions) 2015 [ 98 ] 66,382 64,037 2,345 33,664 147,853 80,256 41,467 2016 [ 98 ] 70,549 64,525 6,024 11,632 181,997 92,274 45,887 2017 [ 98 ] 84,809 73,146 11,663 18,301 251,728 115,346 39,343 2018 [ 98 ] 102,277 81,912 20,365 27,573 297,566 162,897 42,267 2019 [ 98 ] 107,413 78,093 29,320 2,057 301,316 163,599 37,779 2020 [ 99 ] 107,074 72,840 34,234 22,472 332,708 140,865 41,000 2021 [ 99 ] 124,493 80,695 43,798 10,226 380,034 156,082 45,500 2022 [ 99 ] 123,675 74,711 48,964 7,559 390,973 153,168 41,300 2023 [ 99 ] 134,598 81,203 53,395 20,315 406,759 144,151 39,800 2024 [ 99 ] 133,125 78,563 54,562 23,760 427,780 144,168 35,900 According to the China Digital Times , Baidu has a long history of being the most active and restrictive online censor in the search arena. Documents leaked in April 2009 from an employee in Baidu's internal monitoring and censorship department show a long list of blocked websites and censored topics on Baidu search. [ 100 ] In May 2011, activists sued Baidu in the United States for violating the U.S. Constitution by the censorship it conducts in accord with the demand of the Chinese government. [ 101 ] A U.S. judge has ruled [ 102 ] that the Chinese search engine Baidu has the right to block works from its query results under freedom of speech rights, dismissing a lawsuit that sought to punish the company. [ 103 ] [ 104 ] In 2017, Baidu began coordinating with the Chinese Ministry of Public Security as well as 372 Internet police departments to detect information related to "anti-government rumors" and then flooding "Baidu-linked web sites, news sites and devices with alerts dispelling misinformation." [ 105 ] This was done using natural language processing , big data and artificial intelligence. [ 105 ] As part of the COVID-19 pandemic , Chinese regulators instructed Baidu, along with other Internet companies, to "conduct special supervision" on news and information related to the disease . [ 106 ] In November 2022, Sustainalytics downgraded Baidu to "non-compliant" with the United Nations Global Compact principles due to complicity with censorship. [ 107 ] In 2016, Baidu's P4P search results reportedly contributed to the death of a student who tried an experimental cancer therapy he found online. The 21-year-old college student was named Wèi Zéxī (魏则西), who studied in Xidian University . Wei was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma , a rare form of cancer. He found the Second Hospital of the Beijing Armed Police Corps (武警北京市总队第二医院) through the search engine Baidu, on which the hospital had been promoting itself. [ 108 ] The treatment proved unsuccessful and Wèi died in April 2016. [ 108 ] After Wei's family spent around 200,000 yuan (around US$31,150) for treatment in the hospital, Wei Zexi died on 12 April 2016. The incident triggered massive online discussions after Wei's death. [ 109 ] On 2 May 2016, Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), the top watchdog for China's Internet space, dispatched a team of investigators to Baidu. [ 110 ] The case is still ongoing. One report claimed medical advertising makes up for 30% of Baidu's ad revenue, much of which comes from for-profit hospitals that belong to the "Putian Network", a collection of hospitals across the country founded by medical entrepreneurs associated with the Putian region of Fujian province. [ 111 ] The investigation led Chinese regulators to impose several restrictions on Baidu, including adding disclaimers to promotional content and establishing channels for complaints about Baidu services. [ 112 ] In addition, Baidu's search function now largely directs users to contents published on platforms under Baidu's control, Chinese media scholar Fang Kecheng to proclaim that "Search engine Baidu is dead". [ 113 ] Commercialization of Tieba [ edit ] Baidu sold the hemophilia online community, one of the communities of Tieba , to unqualified hospitals. In January 2016, Baidu announced that it will stop selling all of its illness-related Tieba. [ 114 ] On 12 January, Baidu officially announced to the public that all Baidu Tieba for all types of diseases will completely stop commercial cooperation and will only be open to authoritative public welfare organizations. In response to Baidu's decision, Lin Jinlong, president of the Hunan Medical and Health Industry Association, said that private hospitals have entered a period of industry transformation and upgrading, and are neither dependent on posting bar ads nor counting on competitive rankings anymore, so Baidu's decision will not have a negative impact on the industry. [ 115 ] DO Global subsidiary ad-fraud in downloaded apps [ edit ] On 20 April 2019, it was reported that several applications for Android devices developed by the subsidiary company, DO Global (formerly DU Group), were surreptitiously running revenue enhancing background programs on user devices since at least 2016. [ 116 ] These programs, part of six known applications developed by the company, and downloaded hundreds of millions times, were clicking on internet ads – even when the devices were idle, and unbeknownst to end users , to increase revenue generated by "clicks" . [ 116 ] Just one of the apps, all of which were available on Google Play Store , had been downloaded 50 million times alone and carried a user rating of 4.5 stars by tens of thousands. [ 116 ] Google banned DO Global and more than 100 of its apps from the Google Play Store on 26 April 2019. [ 117 ] [ 118 ] DO Global was also banned from Google's AdMob Network. [ 117 ] Apps from another developer, ES Global, including the ES File Explorer , that were owned by DO Global were banned from the Play Store and the account was suspended. [ 119 ] [ 120 ] [ 121 ] [ 122 ] [ 123 ] [ 124 ] [ 125 ] In August 2020, following the 2020 China–India skirmishes , Baidu was one of several Chinese websites that were banned or blocked in India for national security reasons. [ 126 ] 2024 head of communications controversy [ edit ] In May 2024, Baidu's former vice president and head of communications Qu Jing [ zh ] ( Chinese : 璩静 ) sparked major backlashes across the Chinese social media for endorsing toxic workplace culture, where, according to a Douyin video, she has asked a coworker to be on a 50-day business trip during the COVID-19 pandemic . [ 127 ] The report has aroused further discussions amongst Chinese netizens regarding Baidu's corporate governance and internal culture. Qu openly apologized after the incident and has allegedly lost her job. Baidu’s stock price fell 2.17% in Hong Kong following the incident.

The service operates a fleet of over 400 driverless vehicles in Wuhan.[\[58\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-58) In July 2025, Baidu announced its partnership with Uber, allowing it to deploy the Apollo Go outside the U.S and mainland China.[\[59\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-59) ### Domain name redirection attack \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: Domain name redirection attack")\] On 12 January 2010, Baidu.com's DNS records in the United States were altered such that browsers to baidu.com were redirected to a website purporting to be the [Iranian Cyber Army](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_Cyber_Army "Iranian Cyber Army"), thought to be behind the attack on [Twitter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter "Twitter") during the [2009 Iranian election protests](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Iranian_election_protests "2009 Iranian election protests"), making the proper site unusable for four hours.[\[60\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-60) Internet users were met with a page saying "This site has been attacked by Iranian Cyber Army".[\[61\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-61) Chinese hackers responded by attacking Iranian websites and leaving messages.[\[62\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-guard-62) Baidu later launched legal action against [Register.com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register.com "Register.com") for gross negligence after it was revealed that Register.com's technical support staff changed the email address for Baidu.com on the request of an unnamed individual, despite failing security verification procedures. Once the address had been changed, the individual was able to use the forgotten password feature to have Baidu's domain passwords sent directly to them, allowing them to accomplish the [domain hijacking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_hijacking "Domain hijacking").[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-63)[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-64) The lawsuit was settled out of court under undisclosed terms after Register.com issued an apology.[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-65) ### Acquisitions \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=8 "Edit section: Acquisitions")\] On 16 July 2013, Baidu announced its intention to purchase [91 Wireless](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/91_Wireless "91 Wireless") from [NetDragon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetDragon "NetDragon"). 91 Wireless is best known for its app store, but it has been reported that the app store faces privacy and other legal issues.[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-66) On 14 August 2013, Baidu announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Baidu (Hong Kong) Limited has signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire 91 Wireless Web-soft Limited from [NetDragon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetDragon "NetDragon") Web-soft Inc.[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-67) for \$1.85 billion in what was reported to be the biggest deal ever in China's IT sector.[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-68) Also in 2013, Baidu acquired Zongheng to establish Baidu Literature.[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:02-69): 26 ### 2024: Artificial Intelligence Launch \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=9 "Edit section: 2024: Artificial Intelligence Launch")\] On 16 March 2025, Baidu released two new artificial intelligence models: ERNIE 4.5, a foundation model, and ERNIE X1, a reasoning model. Baidu claimed that ERNIE X1 performs comparably to [DeepSeek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeepSeek "DeepSeek")'s R1 model at half the price.[\[70\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-70) ## Name \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=10 "Edit section: Name")\] The name Baidu (百度) literally means "a hundred times", or alternatively, "countless times". It is a quote from the last line of [Xin Qiji](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xin_Qiji "Xin Qiji")'s (辛弃疾) classical poem "Green Jade Table in The Lantern Festival" (青玉案·元夕) saying: "Having searched hundreds of times in the crowd, suddenly turning back, she is there in the dimmest candlelight."

As of 2013, Qunar had 31.4 million active users and raised \$167 Million at its [initial public offering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_public_offering "Initial public offering") that year.[\[73\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-73) It is listed at NASDAQ.[\[74\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-74) ## Advertisements \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=12 "Edit section: Advertisements")\] Baidu's primary advertising product is called Baidu Tuiguang and is similar to [Google Ads](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Ads "Google Ads") and [AdSense](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdSense "AdSense"). It is a [pay per click](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_per_click "Pay per click") advertising platform that allows advertisers to have their ads shown in Baidu search results pages and on other websites that are part of Baidu Union. However, Baidu's search results are also based on payments by advertisers. This has prompted criticism and skepticism among Chinese users, with [People's Daily](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Daily "People's Daily") commenting in 2018 on issues regarding reliability of Baidu results. Often as many as the first two pages of search results tend to be paid advertisers.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-75) Baidu sells its advertising products via a network of resellers.[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-76) Baidu's web administrative tools are all in Chinese, making it difficult for non-Chinese speakers to use. In 2012, a third-party company developed a tool with an interface in English for advertising on Baidu.[\[77\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-77)[\[78\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-78) Advertisers on Baidu must have a registered business address either in China or in specified East Asian countries.[\[79\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-79) ## Competition \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=13 "Edit section: Competition")\] Baidu[\[80\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-80) competes with [Sogou](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sogou "Sogou"), [Google Search](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Search "Google Search"), [360](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qihoo "Qihoo") Search (www.so.com), [Yahoo!

Baidu is the most used search engine in China, controlling 76.05 percent of China's market share. The [number of Internet users](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_Internet_users "List of countries by number of Internet users") in China had reached 705 million by the end of 2015, according to a report by the internetlivestats.com.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-81) In an August 2010 Wall Street Journal article,[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-82) Baidu played down its benefit from [Google](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google "Google")'s having moved its China search service to [Hong Kong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong "Hong Kong"), but Baidu's share of revenue in China's search-advertising market grew six percentage points in the second quarter to 70%, according to Beijing-based research firm Analysys International. It is also evident that Baidu is attempting to enter the Internet social network market. As of 2011[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit), it is discussing the possibility of working with Facebook, which would lead to a Chinese version of the international social network, managed by Baidu.[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-83) This plan, if executed, would face off Baidu with competition from the three popular Chinese social networks [Qzone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qzone "Qzone"), [Renren](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renren "Renren")[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-84) and [Kaixin001](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaixin001 "Kaixin001")[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-85) as well as induce rivalry with instant-messaging giant, [Tencent QQ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent_QQ "Tencent QQ").[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-86) On 22 February 2012, [Hudong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudong "Hudong") submitted a complaint to the [State Administration for Industry and Commerce](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Administration_for_Industry_and_Commerce "State Administration for Industry and Commerce") asking for a review of the behavior of Baidu, accusing it of being monopolistic.[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-87) By August 2014, Baidu's search market share in China dropped to 56.3%, where Qihoo 360, its closest competitor who has rebranded its search engine as so.com, has increased its market share to 29.0%, according to report from CNZZ.com.[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-88) In February 2015, Baidu was alleged to have used anticompetitive tactics in Brazil against the Brazilian online security firm PSafe and [Qihoo 360](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qihoo_360 "Qihoo 360") (the largest investor of PSafe).[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-89)[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-90) In an ongoing competition in AI natural language processing called [General Language Understanding Evaluation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Language_Understanding_Evaluation "General Language Understanding Evaluation"), otherwise known as GLUE, Baidu took a lead over Microsoft and Google in December 2019.[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-BaiduMITTechnologyReview-91) ## Research and patents \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=14 "Edit section: Research and patents")\] Baidu has started to invest in [deep learning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_learning "Deep learning") research and is integrating new deep learning technology into some of its apps and products, including Phoenix Nest. Phoenix Nest is Baidu's ad-bidding platform.[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-92) In April 2012 Baidu JDC long live applied for a patent for its "DNA copyright recognition" technology. This technology automatically scans files that are uploaded by Internet users, and recognizes and filters out content that may violate copyright law. This allows Baidu to offer an infringement-free platform.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-93)[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-94) In April 2022, Baidu announced they gained permits from China to provide the first driverless taxis.

Documents leaked in April 2009 from an employee in Baidu's internal monitoring and censorship department show a long list of blocked websites and censored topics on Baidu search.[\[100\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-100) In May 2011, activists sued Baidu in the United States for violating the U.S. Constitution by the censorship it conducts in accord with the demand of the Chinese government.[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-101) A U.S. judge has ruled[\[102\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-102) that the Chinese search engine Baidu has the right to block works from its query results under [freedom of speech](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech "Freedom of speech") rights, dismissing a lawsuit that sought to punish the company.[\[103\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-103)[\[104\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-104) In 2017, Baidu began coordinating with the Chinese [Ministry of Public Security](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Public_Security_$China$ "Ministry of Public Security (China)") as well as 372 Internet police departments to detect information related to "anti-government rumors" and then flooding "Baidu-linked web sites, news sites and devices with alerts dispelling misinformation."[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:9-105) This was done using [natural language processing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language_processing "Natural language processing"), big data and artificial intelligence.[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:9-105) As part of the [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic "COVID-19 pandemic"), Chinese regulators instructed Baidu, along with other Internet companies, to "conduct special supervision" on news and information related to the [disease](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19 "COVID-19").[\[106\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-106) In November 2022, [Sustainalytics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainalytics "Sustainalytics") downgraded Baidu to "non-compliant" with the [United Nations Global Compact](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Global_Compact "United Nations Global Compact") principles due to complicity with censorship.[\[107\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-107) ## Controversies \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=17 "Edit section: Controversies")\] Main article: [Criticisms of Baidu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticisms_of_Baidu "Criticisms of Baidu") ### Death of Wei Zexi \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=18 "Edit section: Death of Wei Zexi")\] Main article: [Death of Wei Zexi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Wei_Zexi "Death of Wei Zexi") In 2016, Baidu's P4P search results reportedly contributed to the death of a student who tried an experimental cancer therapy he found online. The 21-year-old college student was named Wèi Zéxī (魏则西), who studied in [Xidian University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xidian_University "Xidian University"). Wei was diagnosed with [synovial sarcoma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_sarcoma "Synovial sarcoma"), a rare form of cancer. He found the Second Hospital of the Beijing Armed Police Corps (武警北京市总队第二医院) through the search engine Baidu, on which the hospital had been promoting itself.[\[108\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:8-108) The treatment proved unsuccessful and Wèi died in April 2016.[\[108\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:8-108) After Wei's family spent around 200,000 yuan (around US\$31,150) for treatment in the hospital, Wei Zexi died on 12 April 2016. The incident triggered massive online discussions after Wei's death.[\[109\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-109) On 2 May 2016, [Cyberspace Administration of China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberspace_Administration_of_China "Cyberspace Administration of China") (CAC), the top watchdog for China's Internet space, dispatched a team of investigators to Baidu.[\[110\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-110) The case is still ongoing. One report claimed medical advertising makes up for 30% of Baidu's ad revenue, much of which comes from for-profit hospitals that belong to the "Putian Network", a collection of hospitals across the country founded by medical entrepreneurs associated with the [Putian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putian "Putian") region of Fujian province.[\[111\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-111) The investigation led Chinese regulators to impose several restrictions on Baidu, including adding disclaimers to promotional content and establishing channels for complaints about Baidu services.[\[112\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-112) In addition, Baidu's search function now largely directs users to contents published on platforms under Baidu's control, Chinese media scholar Fang Kecheng to proclaim that "Search engine Baidu is dead".[\[113\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-113) ### Commercialization of Tieba \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=19 "Edit section: Commercialization of Tieba")\] Baidu sold the hemophilia online community, one of the communities of [Tieba](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu_Tieba "Baidu Tieba"), to unqualified hospitals. In January 2016, Baidu announced that it will stop selling all of its illness-related Tieba.[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-114) On 12 January, Baidu officially announced to the public that all Baidu Tieba for all types of diseases will completely stop commercial cooperation and will only be open to authoritative public welfare organizations. In response to Baidu's decision, Lin Jinlong, president of the Hunan Medical and Health Industry Association, said that private hospitals have entered a period of industry transformation and upgrading, and are neither dependent on posting bar ads nor counting on competitive rankings anymore, so Baidu's decision will not have a negative impact on the industry.[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-115) ### DO Global subsidiary ad-fraud in downloaded apps \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=20 "Edit section: DO Global subsidiary ad-fraud in downloaded apps")\] On 20 April 2019, it was reported that several applications for [Android](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_$operating_system$ "Android (operating system)") devices developed by the subsidiary company, DO Global (formerly DU Group), were surreptitiously running revenue enhancing background programs on user devices since at least 2016.[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-Silver-116) These programs, part of six known applications developed by the company, and downloaded hundreds of millions times, were [clicking on internet ads](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confused_deputy_problem "Confused deputy problem") – even when the devices were idle, and unbeknownst to [end users](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_users "End users"), to increase [revenue generated by "clicks"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay-per-click "Pay-per-click").[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-Silver-116) Just one of the apps, all of which were available on [Google Play Store](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Play_Store "Google Play Store"), had been downloaded 50 million times alone and carried a user rating of 4.5 stars by tens of thousands.[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-Silver-116) Google banned DO Global and more than 100 of its apps from the [Google Play Store](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Play_Store "Google Play Store") on 26 April 2019.[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:0-117)[\[118\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-118) DO Global was also banned from [Google's AdMob](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdMob "AdMob") Network.[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:0-117) Apps from another developer, ES Global, including the [ES File Explorer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ES_File_Explorer "ES File Explorer"), that were owned by DO Global were banned from the Play Store and the account was suspended.[\[119\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:2-119)[\[120\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:3-120)[\[121\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:4-121)[\[122\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-122)[\[123\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:5-123)[\[124\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:6-124)[\[125\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:7-125) ### Block in India \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=21 "Edit section: Block in India")\] In August 2020, following the [2020 China–India skirmishes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_China%E2%80%93India_skirmishes "2020 China–India skirmishes"), Baidu was one of several Chinese websites that were banned or blocked in India for national security reasons.[\[126\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-126) ### 2024 head of communications controversy \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=22 "Edit section: 2024 head of communications controversy")\] In May 2024, Baidu's former vice president and head of communications [Qu Jing](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Qu_Jing&action=edit&redlink=1 "Qu Jing (page does not exist)") \[[zh](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%92%A9%E9%9D%9C "zh:璩靜")\] ([Chinese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_language "Chinese language"): 璩静) sparked major backlashes across the Chinese social media for endorsing toxic workplace culture, where, according to a [Douyin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TikTok "TikTok") video, she has asked a coworker to be on a 50-day business trip during the [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic "COVID-19 pandemic").[\[127\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-127) The report has aroused further discussions amongst Chinese [netizens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netizen "Netizen") regarding Baidu's corporate governance and internal culture. Qu openly apologized after the incident and has allegedly lost her job. Baidu’s stock price fell 2.17% in Hong Kong following the incident.[\[128\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-128)[\[129\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-129) ## See also \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=23 "Edit section: See also")\] - [Panguso](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panguso "Panguso") - [Tencent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent "Tencent") - [Sogou](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sogou "Sogou") - [Alibaba](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alibaba_Group "Alibaba Group") - [Google](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google "Google") - [Intellectual property in the People's Republic of China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property_in_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China "Intellectual property in the People's Republic of China") - [Software industry in China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_industry_in_China "Software industry in China") - [Comparison of web search engines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_search_engines "Comparison of web search engines") - [List of search engines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines "List of search engines") - [List of search engines by popularity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines_by_popularity "List of search engines by popularity") [Portals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contents/Portals "Wikipedia:Contents/Portals"): - ![flag](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Flag_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China.svg/40px-Flag_of_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China.svg.png) [China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:China "Portal:China") - ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2a/Industry5.svg/20px-Industry5.svg.png) [Companies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Companies "Portal:Companies") - [![icon](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/Crystal_Clear_app_linneighborhood.svg/20px-Crystal_Clear_app_linneighborhood.svg.png)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Crystal_Clear_app_linneighborhood.svg) [Internet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Internet "Portal:Internet") - [![icon](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a9/Noun-technology.svg/20px-Noun-technology.svg.png)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Noun-technology.svg) [Technology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Technology "Portal:Technology") ## References \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=24 "Edit section: References")\] 1.

Thus Baidu is able to provide its own reports, besides showing certain results as a search engine. Baidu was the first Chinese search engine to receive such a license.[\[24\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-24) Baidu started its Japanese language search service, run by Baidu Japan, the company's first regular service outside of China in 2008.[\[25\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-25) The Japanese search engine closed on 16 March 2015.[\[26\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-26) On 31 July 2012, Baidu announced that it would team up with [Sina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sina_Corp "Sina Corp") to provide mobile search results.[\[27\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-27) On 18 November 2012, Baidu announced that it would be partnering with [Qualcomm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qualcomm "Qualcomm") to offer free cloud storage to [Android](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_$operating_system$ "Android (operating system)") users with [Snapdragon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_$system_on_chip$ "Snapdragon (system on chip)") processors.[\[28\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-28) On 2 August 2013, Baidu launched its Personal Assistant app, designed to help CEOs, managers and the white-collar workers manage their business relationships.[\[29\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-29) On 16 May 2014, Baidu appointed [Dr. Andrew Ng](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Ng "Andrew Ng") as chief scientist.

Smaller than a typical smartphone, the 140-gram translation device can also be used as a portable Wi-Fi router and is able to operate on networks in 80 countries. It is still under development. Baidu will also be inserting artificial intelligence (AI) technology into smartphones, through its deep learning platform.[\[40\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-40)[\[41\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-41) At the same period, it has also led a joint investment of US\$12billion with [Alibaba Group](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alibaba_Group "Alibaba Group"), [Tencent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent "Tencent"), [JD.com](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JD.com "JD.com") and [Didi Chuxing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Didi_Chuxing "Didi Chuxing"), acquiring 35% of [China Unicom](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Unicom "China Unicom")'s stakes.[\[42\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-42)[\[43\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-43)[\[44\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-44) In October 2017, according to The Wall Street Journal, Baidu would launch [self-driving buses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apolong "Apolong") in China in 2018.[\[45\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-45)[\[46\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-46) In the same month, Baidu announced that its first annual Baidu World technology conference (Bring AI to Life) would be held and live-streamed on 16 November 2017, at China World Summit Wing and Kerry Hotel, bringing together Baidu executives, employees, partners, developers, and media to discuss the company's mission and strategy, technology breakthroughs, new product developments, and its open artificial-intelligence (AI) ecosystem.[\[47\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-47) China's government designated Baidu as one of its "AI [champions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_champions "National champions")" in 2018.[\[48\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:Zhang-48): 281 In 2018, Baidu divested the "Global DU business" portion of its overseas business, which developed a series of utility apps including ES File Explorer, DU Caller, Mobojoy, Photo Wonder and DU Recorder, etc.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-49) This business now operates independently of Baidu under the name DO Global.[\[50\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-50) ### 2021: Hong Kong Secondary Listing \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: 2021: Hong Kong Secondary Listing")\] In March 2021, Baidu secured a secondary listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, raising \$3.1 billion. This marked the largest homecoming for a U.S.-traded Chinese company in Hong Kong since JD.com's listing the previous June. In August 2021 Baidu revealed a new [Robocar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-driving_car "Self-driving car") concept said to be capable of Level 5 autonomous driving.[\[51\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-51) It also comes with the latest second-generation AI chip that can analyse the internal and external surroundings to provide predictive suggestions to proactively serve the needs of passengers. In June 2022, [Jidu Auto](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jidu_Auto "Jidu Auto"), an intelligent electric vehicle company originally backed by Baidu and Geely unveiled its first concept ROBO-01 in the form of a pre-production vehicle.

Once the address had been changed, the individual was able to use the forgotten password feature to have Baidu's domain passwords sent directly to them, allowing them to accomplish the [domain hijacking](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_hijacking "Domain hijacking").[\[63\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-63)[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-64) The lawsuit was settled out of court under undisclosed terms after Register.com issued an apology.[\[65\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-65) On 16 July 2013, Baidu announced its intention to purchase [91 Wireless](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/91_Wireless "91 Wireless") from [NetDragon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetDragon "NetDragon"). 91 Wireless is best known for its app store, but it has been reported that the app store faces privacy and other legal issues.[\[66\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-66) On 14 August 2013, Baidu announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Baidu (Hong Kong) Limited has signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire 91 Wireless Web-soft Limited from [NetDragon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetDragon "NetDragon") Web-soft Inc.[\[67\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-67) for \$1.85 billion in what was reported to be the biggest deal ever in China's IT sector.[\[68\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-68) Also in 2013, Baidu acquired Zongheng to establish Baidu Literature.[\[69\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:02-69): 26 ### 2024: Artificial Intelligence Launch \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=9 "Edit section: 2024: Artificial Intelligence Launch")\] On 16 March 2025, Baidu released two new artificial intelligence models: ERNIE 4.5, a foundation model, and ERNIE X1, a reasoning model.

It is a [pay per click](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_per_click "Pay per click") advertising platform that allows advertisers to have their ads shown in Baidu search results pages and on other websites that are part of Baidu Union. However, Baidu's search results are also based on payments by advertisers. This has prompted criticism and skepticism among Chinese users, with [People's Daily](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People%27s_Daily "People's Daily") commenting in 2018 on issues regarding reliability of Baidu results. Often as many as the first two pages of search results tend to be paid advertisers.[\[75\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-75) Baidu sells its advertising products via a network of resellers.[\[76\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-76) Baidu's web administrative tools are all in Chinese, making it difficult for non-Chinese speakers to use.

Baidu is the most used search engine in China, controlling 76.05 percent of China's market share. The [number of Internet users](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_number_of_Internet_users "List of countries by number of Internet users") in China had reached 705 million by the end of 2015, according to a report by the internetlivestats.com.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-81) In an August 2010 Wall Street Journal article,[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-82) Baidu played down its benefit from [Google](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google "Google")'s having moved its China search service to [Hong Kong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong "Hong Kong"), but Baidu's share of revenue in China's search-advertising market grew six percentage points in the second quarter to 70%, according to Beijing-based research firm Analysys International. It is also evident that Baidu is attempting to enter the Internet social network market. As of 2011, it is discussing the possibility of working with Facebook, which would lead to a Chinese version of the international social network, managed by Baidu.[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-83) This plan, if executed, would face off Baidu with competition from the three popular Chinese social networks [Qzone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qzone "Qzone"), [Renren](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renren "Renren")[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-84) and [Kaixin001](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaixin001 "Kaixin001")[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-85) as well as induce rivalry with instant-messaging giant, [Tencent QQ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent_QQ "Tencent QQ").[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-86) On 22 February 2012, [Hudong](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudong "Hudong") submitted a complaint to the [State Administration for Industry and Commerce](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Administration_for_Industry_and_Commerce "State Administration for Industry and Commerce") asking for a review of the behavior of Baidu, accusing it of being monopolistic.[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-87) By August 2014, Baidu's search market share in China dropped to 56.3%, where Qihoo 360, its closest competitor who has rebranded its search engine as so.com, has increased its market share to 29.0%, according to report from CNZZ.com.[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-88) In February 2015, Baidu was alleged to have used anticompetitive tactics in Brazil against the Brazilian online security firm PSafe and [Qihoo 360](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qihoo_360 "Qihoo 360") (the largest investor of PSafe).[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-89)[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-90) In an ongoing competition in AI natural language processing called [General Language Understanding Evaluation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Language_Understanding_Evaluation "General Language Understanding Evaluation"), otherwise known as GLUE, Baidu took a lead over Microsoft and Google in December 2019.[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-BaiduMITTechnologyReview-91) ## Research and patents \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=14 "Edit section: Research and patents")\] Baidu has started to invest in [deep learning](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_learning "Deep learning") research and is integrating new deep learning technology into some of its apps and products, including Phoenix Nest. Phoenix Nest is Baidu's ad-bidding platform.[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-92) In April 2012 Baidu JDC long live applied for a patent for its "DNA copyright recognition" technology. This technology automatically scans files that are uploaded by Internet users, and recognizes and filters out content that may violate copyright law. This allows Baidu to offer an infringement-free platform.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-93)[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-94) In April 2022, Baidu announced they gained permits from China to provide the first driverless taxis.

Documents leaked in April 2009 from an employee in Baidu's internal monitoring and censorship department show a long list of blocked websites and censored topics on Baidu search.[\[100\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-100) In May 2011, activists sued Baidu in the United States for violating the U.S. Constitution by the censorship it conducts in accord with the demand of the Chinese government.[\[101\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-101) A U.S. judge has ruled[\[102\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-102) that the Chinese search engine Baidu has the right to block works from its query results under [freedom of speech](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech "Freedom of speech") rights, dismissing a lawsuit that sought to punish the company.[\[103\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-103)[\[104\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-104) In 2017, Baidu began coordinating with the Chinese [Ministry of Public Security](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministry_of_Public_Security_$China$ "Ministry of Public Security (China)") as well as 372 Internet police departments to detect information related to "anti-government rumors" and then flooding "Baidu-linked web sites, news sites and devices with alerts dispelling misinformation."[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:9-105) This was done using [natural language processing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_language_processing "Natural language processing"), big data and artificial intelligence.[\[105\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:9-105) As part of the [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic "COVID-19 pandemic"), Chinese regulators instructed Baidu, along with other Internet companies, to "conduct special supervision" on news and information related to the [disease](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19 "COVID-19").[\[106\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-106) In November 2022, [Sustainalytics](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainalytics "Sustainalytics") downgraded Baidu to "non-compliant" with the [United Nations Global Compact](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Global_Compact "United Nations Global Compact") principles due to complicity with censorship.[\[107\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-107) In 2016, Baidu's P4P search results reportedly contributed to the death of a student who tried an experimental cancer therapy he found online. The 21-year-old college student was named Wèi Zéxī (魏则西), who studied in [Xidian University](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xidian_University "Xidian University"). Wei was diagnosed with [synovial sarcoma](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_sarcoma "Synovial sarcoma"), a rare form of cancer. He found the Second Hospital of the Beijing Armed Police Corps (武警北京市总队第二医院) through the search engine Baidu, on which the hospital had been promoting itself.[\[108\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:8-108) The treatment proved unsuccessful and Wèi died in April 2016.[\[108\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:8-108) After Wei's family spent around 200,000 yuan (around US\$31,150) for treatment in the hospital, Wei Zexi died on 12 April 2016. The incident triggered massive online discussions after Wei's death.[\[109\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-109) On 2 May 2016, [Cyberspace Administration of China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberspace_Administration_of_China "Cyberspace Administration of China") (CAC), the top watchdog for China's Internet space, dispatched a team of investigators to Baidu.[\[110\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-110) The case is still ongoing. One report claimed medical advertising makes up for 30% of Baidu's ad revenue, much of which comes from for-profit hospitals that belong to the "Putian Network", a collection of hospitals across the country founded by medical entrepreneurs associated with the [Putian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putian "Putian") region of Fujian province.[\[111\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-111) The investigation led Chinese regulators to impose several restrictions on Baidu, including adding disclaimers to promotional content and establishing channels for complaints about Baidu services.[\[112\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-112) In addition, Baidu's search function now largely directs users to contents published on platforms under Baidu's control, Chinese media scholar Fang Kecheng to proclaim that "Search engine Baidu is dead".[\[113\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-113) ### Commercialization of Tieba \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=19 "Edit section: Commercialization of Tieba")\] Baidu sold the hemophilia online community, one of the communities of [Tieba](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu_Tieba "Baidu Tieba"), to unqualified hospitals. In January 2016, Baidu announced that it will stop selling all of its illness-related Tieba.[\[114\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-114) On 12 January, Baidu officially announced to the public that all Baidu Tieba for all types of diseases will completely stop commercial cooperation and will only be open to authoritative public welfare organizations. In response to Baidu's decision, Lin Jinlong, president of the Hunan Medical and Health Industry Association, said that private hospitals have entered a period of industry transformation and upgrading, and are neither dependent on posting bar ads nor counting on competitive rankings anymore, so Baidu's decision will not have a negative impact on the industry.[\[115\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-115) ### DO Global subsidiary ad-fraud in downloaded apps \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=20 "Edit section: DO Global subsidiary ad-fraud in downloaded apps")\] On 20 April 2019, it was reported that several applications for [Android](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_$operating_system$ "Android (operating system)") devices developed by the subsidiary company, DO Global (formerly DU Group), were surreptitiously running revenue enhancing background programs on user devices since at least 2016.[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-Silver-116) These programs, part of six known applications developed by the company, and downloaded hundreds of millions times, were [clicking on internet ads](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confused_deputy_problem "Confused deputy problem") – even when the devices were idle, and unbeknownst to [end users](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_users "End users"), to increase [revenue generated by "clicks"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay-per-click "Pay-per-click").[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-Silver-116) Just one of the apps, all of which were available on [Google Play Store](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Play_Store "Google Play Store"), had been downloaded 50 million times alone and carried a user rating of 4.5 stars by tens of thousands.[\[116\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-Silver-116) Google banned DO Global and more than 100 of its apps from the [Google Play Store](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Play_Store "Google Play Store") on 26 April 2019.[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:0-117)[\[118\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-118) DO Global was also banned from [Google's AdMob](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdMob "AdMob") Network.[\[117\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:0-117) Apps from another developer, ES Global, including the [ES File Explorer](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ES_File_Explorer "ES File Explorer"), that were owned by DO Global were banned from the Play Store and the account was suspended.[\[119\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:2-119)[\[120\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:3-120)[\[121\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:4-121)[\[122\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-122)[\[123\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:5-123)[\[124\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:6-124)[\[125\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-:7-125) In August 2020, following the [2020 China–India skirmishes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_China%E2%80%93India_skirmishes "2020 China–India skirmishes"), Baidu was one of several Chinese websites that were banned or blocked in India for national security reasons.[\[126\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-126) ### 2024 head of communications controversy \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baidu&action=edit&section=22 "Edit section: 2024 head of communications controversy")\] In May 2024, Baidu's former vice president and head of communications [Qu Jing](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Qu_Jing&action=edit&redlink=1 "Qu Jing (page does not exist)") \[[zh](https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%92%A9%E9%9D%9C "zh:璩靜")\] ([Chinese](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_language "Chinese language"): 璩静) sparked major backlashes across the Chinese social media for endorsing toxic workplace culture, where, according to a [Douyin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TikTok "TikTok") video, she has asked a coworker to be on a 50-day business trip during the [COVID-19 pandemic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic "COVID-19 pandemic").[\[127\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-127) The report has aroused further discussions amongst Chinese [netizens](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netizen "Netizen") regarding Baidu's corporate governance and internal culture. Qu openly apologized after the incident and has allegedly lost her job. Baidu’s stock price fell 2.17% in Hong Kong following the incident.[\[128\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-128)[\[129\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu#cite_note-129) - [Panguso](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panguso "Panguso") - [Tencent](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent "Tencent") - [Sogou](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sogou "Sogou") - [Alibaba](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alibaba_Group "Alibaba Group") - [Google](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google "Google") - [Intellectual property in the People's Republic of China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property_in_the_People%27s_Republic_of_China "Intellectual property in the People's Republic of China") - [Software industry in China](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_industry_in_China "Software industry in China") - [Comparison of web search engines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_search_engines "Comparison of web search engines") - [List of search engines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines "List of search engines") - [List of search engines by popularity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_search_engines_by_popularity "List of search engines by popularity") 1.
