China takes heat on exports
The world puts pressure on China to free up its raw materials, while at the
bottom of the ocean, Japanese explorers discover a new stash of rare-earth
minerals.
Baidu BIDU +2.30% is seeking to expand overseas and may be looking to
bolster the quality of its English-language searches as part of that move,
The Wall Street Journal reported.
Meanwhile, Microsoft MSFT +0.08% is seeking to expand its presence in the
mainland Chinese online search market, the report said.
Search results that originate from Bing will be labeled with identifying
branding when they appear on Baidu’s results page, reports said, citing a
spokesman for a Shanghai MSN Network Communications Technology Co., a joint
venture in which Microsoft has a stake.
The agreement reportedly does not involve any revenue sharing. |
