Seriously suspect this student was a shill employed by Baidu, deliberately trying to piss Google off...

Interviewer: "May I ask, how did you first learn about our company?"

Student: "I stumbled upon it while using Baidu."

Interviewer: "..." (sweating)

Interviewer: "So, do you know what Google's core competitive advantage is?"

Student: "A Chinese search engine!"

Interviewer: "..." (drenched in sweat)

Interviewer: "Alright then, if you were to come up with an advertising slogan for Google, what would you say?"

Student: "Searched high and low, found him in Baidu."

Interviewer directly spits blood and faints...

Interviewer: "Finally, could you tell us what you think is Google's greatest advantage?"

Student: "It's very similar to Baidu; they've done a great job with that!"
