Google getting aggressive in China

Not long after releasing it's first version, Google has just updated pingyin input system for the fourth time in about as many weeks. The system is gaining significant traction with it's personalized selection of dictionary and many users reported getting good relevancy in results.

Perhaps learned from Baidu, Google acquired a small web navigation site, 265.com which is more like a web directory.

Three years ago, Baidu acquired hao123.com to boost it's traffic numbers before setting to go IPO in the Nasdaq. The 265.com is very similar comparing with the offerings of hao123.com. Several years ago, Yahoo also bought 3721.com which became a navigation site for Yahoo.China just recently.
