Yes, thank you Aphaia for pointing out this. This is also my biggest fear. Someday in the
future, Baidu would accuse Wikipedia for violating their copyright (at least in China).
This is why this is a foundation matter, and not a matter of individual authors.

Even besides the general principle, I think it is
better for us to be
proactive toward copyright a/o trademark infringement in Main Land
China, in regard of Japanese Anime and trademarks which have been
infringed in Main Land China: some copies were registered or claimed
to be the original even in the Main Land China. Consequently, the
Japanese original was or have been condemned as infringements a/o
violation of Chinese copy. There is no reason I think we'll welcome a
similar situation.

The three obvious options for giving attribution:
a) Do what everyone else does, and link to the Wikipedia article
histories. Except that's meaningless for most of the readers - the
vast majority of them who live in mainland China won't be able to
follow the link, and the GFDL probably frowns a bit on a list of
authors which you aren't allowed to see...
I'm inclined to favour this option. For the users of Baidu outside of
the PRC there will of course be no problems. PRC residents will still
get their usual results to indicate a blocked site. Each time it will
be a reminder to them that something is wrong, and they will be more
inclined to attempt access through alternate channels. We shouldn't
underestimate the ability of the average PRC computer geek to circumvent
blocks.
