China Mobile (Hong Kong) Ltd., the world's top cellular carrier by
subscribers, has broadly matched forecasts with a 28 percent jump in quarterly
earnings as it grabbed market share from smaller rival China Unicom Ltd. China
Mobile , which controls about two-thirds of the Chinese cellular market, signed
up 5.7 million new users in March.
Baidu.com Inc, China's top search engine, plans to move beyond its home
market in the next few years in search of new business opportunities, its chief
executive said April 21. "At the moment, Baidu will focus on strengthening its
leading position in China," Baidu chief executive officer Robin Li said. "But in
the long run, Baidu will seek opportunities in China's neighboring countries,
especially in Asia. We'd like to have a try in the next few
years."
