Baidu to Build Southern China Office in International Push

Baidu Inc., China’s biggest Internet company by market value, said it will set up a new center for international operations in southern China, stepping up efforts to add overseas users and revenue.

International expansion is an “important way” for Baidu to drive future growth, Chief Executive Officer Robin Li said today in Shenzhen, where the company is building a 220,000 square-meter complex to be opened in 2015. The facility will also accommodate the mobile Internet business, he said.
