I believe the issue about Baidu launching a news service is more complicated than it was made to seem in this story:
Baidu to give Google run for money.
I would want to stress that a license to publish news does not make you heir apparent of all news readers currently using Google News. And news written in China must have some of the most stringent restrictions on it, so what are Baidu users getting that is not found elsewhere on paper?
There are some free podcast mp3 Chinese lessons designed by Shanghai East Radio Station on Learn Mandarin. You can try.

I would like to suggest a stock it trades around 3.00 dollars under the symbol PFSW. The company is engaged in procurement of services related to the internet. I believe that the stock could get to 30.00 dollars a share over the next five years.
Great info on chinese stocks.
