nothing will change the situation in China until the Chinese people insist on change. that can only happen through an understanding of what they are missing wrt the rest of the world. blogging can help but it will require more. google yahoo and microsft need to do more and stop bending over for the chinese government.

Wow! This is the first time TechCrunch report Chinese internet com.

wow,come on,you guys,please!!!I love techcrunch,dont let these chinese shit profane techcrunch.I am a loyal fan of this site.Please keep the purity and virginity of techcrunch.I am a loyal fan, of this site.

By the way,baidu is damn evil….I can smell the strench from hell when i surfing baidu shit.:-(

The next big growth will take place in South Asia. Use of internet is growing very fast in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Within 5 years, this market will become as big as China. So, tech cmpanies should address this market. Yahoo is doing great here but Google is negleting it

Baidu has a tab for searching mp3 online. Now that can be good for user but well… I have mix feeling about that. I will just say this Google or Yahoo will/can never put Search mp3 files online.

The wolrd of Web 2.0 not only happening in Silicon Valley. It is happening everywhere. For TechCrunch, it will be good covering Web 2.0 for China. China has the second biggest internet user in the world after US. It’s no brainer to cover Web 2.0 news from there

As a user, I think Baidu is really really good compared with many other Chinese internet services. Two of my favoriate things in Baidu: map (very complete and easy to use. Maybe not as good as google map yet, but very useful when google and other maps don’t cover China yet); and Chinese classics libary. If you do use Chinese language, those are almost irreplacable by any others; if you don’t, the whole thing just doesn’t matter.

Mike,

Baidu is the strategic tool in the hands of the government. The more people who use it the better for them.. (the regime !!)

you may also want to to readup a bit on what is called as the golden projects and also here a little on ICE

“The more people that blog in and about China, the better. ” — Better for whom ?? yeah, the Chinese parliament is considering a draft law which would - among other things– “reporting breaking news without authorization”

So Mike, in short - as professional blogger and leader in web2.0 , under the current mandates you will never be able to open a techcrunch china — Oh let me retract that -maybe it will happen hmmmmmmm 2050 ?

FWIW–WEb2.0 is not just about technologies , its also about coummities !!

Wow, it’s amazing how people here in America completely miss an important part about the Chinese: they live very differently and see things very differently than we do. I know many Chinese who, having spent many years in America, are not anywhere near as zealous for change in their home country as you people all seem to be.

The Chinese know things are not ideal in their country, but they also know that no country is perfect. They see many flaws in the American approach, and even many flaws in some of the “freedoms” we insist on here. They’re more cautious about it, and they usually don’t appreciate people like us holding our bleeding hearts in one hand while as talk about how China is “in the dark ages.”

China is a different country with different people and a different perspective. Come down off your high horse and let them sort it out for themselves if they wish to.

Doh, should have proofread it. That last bit should be “while we talk about how China…”

oh heres another linky which is of interest

EmilYang ,did baidu fire you or something?

EmilYang: I think your word regarding the Baidu Space is kind harsh, at least not appropriated for this audience. Just dont know what makes you think that aidu is a piece of shit?

Clark kent + Thomas: Totally agree with what you said. China is a such different country with different culture and different perspective. Like America, they are also innovative and hard-working people. They have the cool ideas. The best thing is to talk and share with each other, rather than just shut door to each other.

As the matter of fact, eBay China got beaten by a local china company, Yahoo China also got bought out to the same local Chinese company named “Aribaba”, and Google is also facing great competition thanks to baidu’s right strategy and strong performance. Chinese companies, including Baidu, reserve the respect, at least to some extend.

To EmilYang:

How dare u speak baidu seo like this way!!
really not smart

hehe,good news for us!

Baidu is great company although it’s not perfect. it does create value for chinese, and i would like to say Baidu is not a “so so substitute of Google”, but a great competitor of Google.

Baidu has promosing future and playing in a big highly growing market in China. Need to follow where the money are.

^_^ baidu is a powerful in china!

i love baidu,i love china!

i love baidu, i love blog, so … i love baidu space!

hahahaa……..

外也就那求样!

不管怎么说.我都爱我们中国自己的搜索引擎
可能我们的技术赶不上美国的GOOGLE和YAHOO
但是我们永远是百度的忠实拥护者
因为我们是中国人

I just discovered how many Chinese readers you have here, Michael! I aslo found out one thing - if you write something about China, there are always a lot of comments you can earn, especially in a popular blog like TechCruch.

哈哈哈 ，我也是中国人！！
Emily Yang is a big shit!! Ni Gan Kuai Qu Si!! BS 你这头猪！

Coward…veryfine,you are a total coward.

it’s not a good idea for baidu to launch its space. search engine as well as blog. it may confuse users.

EmilYang 是头猪呀！中国人都来干他niang呀！！

happy pulse

男人一定要看的网站，女人一定要用的东西

Do not reject things from other country.If u dislike them,just stand by and do not say any thing,nobody there is threating u to come to this thread and comment.Plus,everything has two sides,there must be something usefull from Baidu that people can get some kinda apocalypse.
If u want a debate,AIM:wyy126,MSN:also my email.

Veryfine不对呀,我对动物没兴趣 应该是 call all pigs to fuck his/her mother

EmilYang ,I think your behavior makes others look down upon you .
Since you are a Chinese,y did you say such things here?

if u say”chinese shit”, you are cursing you and your parents as “shit “at the same time.Why do you call yourself “shit”?

Chinese people look down upon you,and people from other countries also look down upon you.

You made us sick!
你根本不配做一个中国人。你骂了中国的同时也是在骂你和你娘是吃屎长大的。你真恶心！

i love baidu! - ouyang

chinese shit? i think chinese is shit anyway…whatever they do… how much they pride for their classix text…but it’s only antic…that’s Altertum… and the real fact is… from the Altertum to now…only very few people are allowed to share their own Gute… they are shit not because they are stupid or bad, but their present culture..is just disgusting… they know only how to pride their past, but look at all chinese on walking and breathing now on Erde… i think less than 0.01% wanted to really make good of themselves… look, spend some few hundred USA or EURO money to find out yourself, you’ll see and understand… remember one thing i said above, they have excellent past… but…that Gute past had only been shared by very few of their own people… why? whatever the surname was the king of a particular dynasty, the same surnames almost for all the famous scholars or literatur people that time… what did it mean? simple, we’re from the same ancestors…i would do you favour… no matter how shit you are…so…this tradition has since then practised until now and i think…forever to come… i think the chinese government has the largest population of their people on their office, imagine, this is only a guess by mir, only 1 in 10,000 could be clean handed… almost all of them bride, corrupt… well, how do i know all this?… because i live in China and i know their damn culture well, i understand lots of their dialiects also….dont ask me am i chinese or not, that doesn’t matter really…i once used to hate the japanese how bad they had done to china during II worldwar; but after living in china over two years, i now know why japanese hate them so much, and a side from very few so-called experts in chinese…ja they see only the beauty of their language…but , if china is ever to become influential to the world, please, help wake them up, don’t act until it’s too late… ja, but how to wake them up? i have no idea, but i’ve already sensed the danger….the chinese people is expert in regretting things they have done or not done…having more than 10 billions kneeing down and crying doesn’t help anyone on earth in the future for all other peoples…well if you are somewhat involved in U.N. or any of that kind diplomatic… believe me, don’t get cheated by chinese classix text, the text as i said have only been shared and practised by very few people… the rest??? they hv no interest on them…. so ja, say it cruelly, chinese is still very barbaric…look their manners…the way they talk, the way they treat the planet…the way they hostile against other people on erde… Gott! GIve them a lesson!
