He is the man who beat Google. His search engine now dominates the world's fastest-growing Internet market.
Robin Li (Li Yanhong), Chairman and CEO of China's most popular navigation site Baidu. com, is among the “Top 25 powerful business leaders in China” List issued by China Entrepreneur magazine several months ago.
The 37-year-old man has received a lot of attention. He is both heralded as a model entrepreneur and accused of encouraging online music piracy（盗版）.
Li has firsthand experience with the American competition（角逐）. A native of Shanxi Province, he went to the US for post-graduate study at the State University of New York in 1991 and worked for Dow Jones in New Jersey and then Infoseek in Silicon Valley.
Having seen the Internet at first-hand on both sides of the Pacific, he returned to China in 1999.
“As a scientist by training, I am a little bit stubborn and I wanted to know how best I could use my talent,” said Li. The result of his stubbornness was Baidu. com.
Asked about Bill Gates' recent comment that Google is becoming more influential, Li says the Microsoft chairman should watch out for the challenge from China.
“If he is worried about Google he will probably be more worried about Baidu,” he says. “When the Chinese market stops growing so fast, we will look outside.”
