Google all geared up to pounce Baidu in China

Local search engine Baidu is the dominant market leader in China; much to the disappointment of global Web search giant Google. Its mastery of China and its cryptic language are its inherent strengths against foreign competitors.

After years of trying, Google has finally discovered a chink in the armor of this mighty adversary – search service for free and unlicensed music downloads. Google is now negotiating with a Chinese online music company for a possible tie-up on free and legal music downloads. There are also rumors that it will provide free access from three global music companies. If all goes well, this service is expected to commence in a few weeks.
