Leading Chinese web and music search site Baidu has poo-pooed Telegraph.co.uk’s unattributed report (which we covered here) last week that it is due to set up shop in Europe. The paper said the site would announce the move at an event in London this month. But Baidu’s press folk issued a denial this weekend: “Recent rumors alleging that Baidu.com is expanding into Europe are groundless.” Not that Baidu is averse to expansion outside China — it launched a Japanese site earlier this year.
