But don\u2019t expect to find any results for Liu Xiaobo, the jailed activist and Nobel Peace Laureate or for the People\u2019s University in Beijing, the first university founded after the 1949 communist revolution. Any material judged subversive, obscene, or too politically sensitive will be blocked from the search engine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Despite the saturated market (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.baidu.com\/\">Baidu<\/a> has 75.5% market share according to Analysys International), the President of Xinhua News Agency is very hopeful and confident that Panguso will become a market leader in China as well as in the international market.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What does this news mean to marketers? If some of your target customers are Chinese or live in China, you should keep a close eye on Panguso in the next few months. With an increasing proportion of Chinese Internet users using cell phones to access the Internet (303 million out of its 457 million Internet users), Panguso could have a competitive edge and, with the help of the government, attack Baidu\u2019s market share more quickly than you could imagine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Stay tuned for more news about Panguso in the upcoming weeks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Xinhua and China Mobile are proud to announce the birth of Panguso, their new search engine 100% controlled by the government.
