In Guangzhou, Google's market share was 28.7 percent while Baidu's was 48 percent. Last year, Google bought 2.6 percent of Baidu.com, a move outsiders thought might lead to the American giant taking over the tiny Chinese startup. The company has recently set up an office in Shanghai, in preparation for expansion in China and obtained a Web address under the country's China domain, http://www.google.com.cn.
