I believe not; there is no need unless their ads become too intrusive. When we have issues with a technical issue in China, I start the VPN and search with Google. What takes my Chinese colleagues a lot of time, is immediately found in Google, even for vague components. Specsheets they did not receive are easily found on Google but not on the engines they have. It is not that we cannot think up a better Google, but I believe that means better NLP, not a better backend. Google would destroy anything that comes close, simply because it will be something they can bolt on in no time and then they have the data, money and infra.
