Baidu has to comply with the Chinese government, it is effectively almost impossible for them not to. Considering there are communist party officials embedded within Baidu's office. And they would not be able to exist without the permission and good relations with the Chinese Government - or the Government would just take control. Also Baidu has an interest in working with the Chinese government or at least allowing some of this to happen without kicking up a fuss because China helpfully blocks all Western technology companies to ensure that they can copy and clone their own versions without foreign companies gaining any market share. Block them.
