This can get on the side of being comical: Baidu itself is accused of censoring content! (Being scared of provoking Big Brother while equally being scared of the Wikipedia… you know, somewhere, the maths starts not making sense!)

It was actually fine to copy Wikipedia's content, and also to censor stuff they don't like, as long as they complied with the GFDL. She got back to me saying Baidu's folks on that side were "scared" of talking to folks involved with Wikipedia, after the strong comments by Wikimedia Foundation chairperson Florence Nibart-Devouard.

The only thing we want is compliance." Perhaps there's an even more face-saving way to address this to Baidu, but it's a good thing to reinforce.
