Baidu + Google = 89.4%

According to Xinhua News Agency, in 2005, Baidu and Google together accounted for 89.4% of the domestic search engine market. In other words, other search engines such as Yahoo!, MSN, SOSO, etc., could only share the remaining 10.6%. The survey was conducted by iResearch Market Consulting, and the results showed that Google ranked second in China's search engine market with a share of 32.8%, while Baidu ranked first with 56.6%. In 2003, Google had been the leader in China's search engine market with a market share of 34.8%, while Baidu was the runner-up at that time. This naturally raises curiosity about how Baidu surpassed Google within two years to become the dominant player in Chinese search?
