As far as I can tell the article Google hasn't so much lost to Baidu as simply decided the cost of competing wasn't worth it. If censorship and government blessing is the key to china success then I'm not so sure I want success in that market.

And at least till now both of them are accessible in China. Although Google is providing a censored version, but one fact is important: a contrast. And a growing number of Chinese people are beginning to notice the difference, which I believe is the key of awakening brainwashed hive minded people.
