Baidu is also much more familiar with emerging markets than either Opera or Amazon and hence I suspect probably had a more complete product ready of those target markets. I dont now if this has anything to do with censorship but I can see how it might.

If the idea is to render the web pages on servers and send them over to the end users in a simplified and compressed format, I wonder why Orange is partnering with Baidu rather than Opera or Amazon. Considering the target market is Middle East, where most governments actively repress their populace, could it be due to Baidu being more willing to share individual users’ browsing data with governments?
