unverified sources (i.e. rumors) said that chinese search engine Baidu.com set up a special task force to search politically sensitive terms in Google.com, therefore making Google unstable or even totally inaccessable to chinese users, it's said that baidu even wrote to the government against Google's "politically harmful contents" in china.
lee, the baidu boss, received his education in the US and holds the US green card.
baidu's name has been notoriously connected with bad business ethics practices in the past several years, but it is becoming stronger and is planning to be listed in the nasdaq.
