(In case it isn&#8217;t clear, Baidu has taken everyone to school in China)  But it seems like the American search engine companies want to duke it out in China with Baidu anyways.

I have been reading countless stories about how the Chinese middle class is impossible to target, but here, we find [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Very informative posting at Silicon Hutong today that refutes some of my thoughts earlier, that the Microsoft-Yahoo (what I lovingly call &#8220;Yacrosoft&#8221;) deal has no effect on China because of Yahoo&#8217;s failure in China.

		<description><![CDATA[I sure hope that this Super Bowl ad doesn&#8217;t represent what Americans still think about Chinese people and businesses.  Unfortunately, I have a feeling that some people still think of Chinese sales in terms of Pandas, bamboo, thick Chinese accepts, and something exotic.  Business is business, no matter where it is.
