Since today 7am, Baidu.com was not accessible, whereas Google.com and Google.cn were perfectly working, leading Google.cn to an abnormal increase of traffic.
According to an official announcement from China’s number 1 search engine, the problem occured after a registration change in USA on website register.com. Last night, a search on DNS (Domain Name Server) was leading netizens to Yahoo.com website…
A surprise for us, more used to the issue of not being able to access foreign websites from China.
Baidu is now accessible again, but I wonder how much money did it cost for today’s paid search loss…
Is Baidu going to leave China too ?
