"Encyclopedia Britannica" and "Baidu Baike" are currently the two most comprehensive encyclopedias in the world, jointly written by all Internet users, and are one of the wonders created by the Internet today.

Setting aside the issue of blocking, because now there are Wiki proxies everywhere (the first or second result when searching for Wikipedia on Google). The following points are truly worth considering for open encyclopedias.

Generally speaking, "Wikipedia" and "Baidu Baike" will not have identical content.

If an article is posted on both Wikipedia and Baidu Baike at the same time, the following results may occur:

If it's posted on Baidu first and then on Wikipedia, Baidu could accuse Wikipedia of copyright infringement;

Conversely, if it's posted on Wikipedia first and then on Baidu Baike, Wikipedia could accuse Baidu of copyright infringement.

Therefore, Baidu's content is not acceptable to Wikipedia, and Wikipedia's content cannot be accepted by Baidu either.
