    We MUST confess that Baidu is the king of rogue search engines. As I could recall clearly what William used to wrote about Baidu’s unbelievable dirty tricks on Google long ago, Baidu has been portraying itself as a big online villain who tried to curry the favor with the governmentand take any horrible actions to defame, slander Google. Now, I believe that Baidu is all what future of web and internet in China is about–the increasing chaos in cyberspace but, turns out, ironically, the some decision-makers are trying police what they think as the national threats. Baidu is always embrassing us, and it lies where our country’s cyberfuture is—the world of rogues.
