Much like the alternatives to mainstream social media platforms, China has pioneered the production of search engines that provide an alternative to Google and Bing. Some of the most prominent Chinese search engines are Baidu and Bing.
Baidu – China’s internet giant
Since its founding in 2000, Baidu’s revenue surged swiftly and totaled about 135 billion yuan in 2023. A majority of the revenue was generated through online marketing services. However, the operating profit bounced back after having contracted in 2019 and 2021. Baidu used to control about 70 to 80 percent of China’s online search market, a new contender Haosou emerged and is expected to close the gap in the near future.
