Baidu launches search engine in Japan

Baidu.com is the dominating search engine company in China. They are now expanding their presence globally and have launched a search engine for web users in Japan.

They are likely to face intense competition in Japan where internet is widely used by the people through a variety of devices.

Yahoo is currently the dominating search engine company in Japan. Google comes at the second position.

Robin Li, Baidu’s chairman and chief executive spoke on this new development: “We are very excited to officially enter the Japanese search market.”

He added: “Given the success we have already encountered after nearly one year of testing our beta site, we are confident that we can provide a high quality Japanese-language search engine.”
