FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

SINGAPORE–China’s largest Internet search company, Baidu, says it is keen to expand its operations to Southeast Asia but currently does not have concrete plans to do so.

Speaking to reporters here Thursday, Wang Mengqiu, vice president of Baidu, said it was “too early” to discuss how the company will enter the Southeast Asian market with local language products.

And while it is also exploring plans to open an office in Singapore, this will not take place within the year, said Wang, who was in the city-state for the official opening of the Baidu-I2R Research Centre (BIRC). The facility is Baidu’s first overseas partnership laboratory.

First announced in February, the laboratory will carry out research on search based on Southeast Asian languages, combining technologies from both organizations. It will also cover other areas of research including natural language processing and information retrieval.
