Baidu is China's top internet search engine company. Its features and services are comparable to Google's, but its primary focus is on China, where it controls the majority of the search market. According to Chinese regulations, Baidu censors search results and other content. The Great Firewall of China prevents access to Google from mainland China. Baidu Inc. is registered in the Cayman Islands and operates on the Nasdaq under the ticker symbol BIDU.

Robin Li and Eric Xu, the company's founders, established Baidu, Inc. in January 2000. It has grown into a Chinese international technology firm that offers internet-related services, products, and artificial intelligence (AI). The company's headquarters are in Beijing's Haidian District. It is one of the world's largest AI and internet companies. Baidu Inc. became the first Chinese company to be featured in the NASDAQ-100 index in December 2007. According to YCharts, the company has a market capitalization of almost $70 billion as of late March 2021.

Maps, news, video, an encyclopedia, anti-virus software, and internet TV are among the consumer features offered by Baidu. The company earns money from advertising using a manner similar to Google's. Advertisers bid on keywords that will allow their adverts to appear. Advertisers may also pay to have their ads appear first in search results. Google Hong Kong, Yahoo! China, Microsoft Bing, and other smaller regional firms compete with Baidu. (Although banned from the mainland, Google is available in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.)
