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.
If Baidu is indeed actively vetting its material to ensure compliance
with the firewall, I doubt they'd be happy about leaving in a link to
a blocked site!
