"China's biggest Internet search site, Baidu.com, has launched a
Chinese-language encyclopedia inspired by the cooperative reference
site Wikipedia, which the communist government bars China's Web
surfers from seeing.   However, entries on Baidupedia, the service
from Nasdaq-listed Baidu.com launched last month, are censored by the
Chinese Government."

Anyone know if they use the actual content from Wikipedia or not?
