The Wall Street Journal reports the president of Google China, Kai-Fu Lee, saying the company "would like to aspire to be a market leader in five years", and though that's an ambitious target the balance does seem to be tipping in Google's favour.
The Beijing-based Analysys International research firm said Google revenue increased from 17% in the last quarter of 2006 to 26% a year later; Baidu - the dominant Chinese search company and the one Google has to beat - dropped from 60% to 58% over the same period.
