Maybe there's much more to worry about Baidu's particular not-so-well documented, but longer-term partnerships.

Oh, absolutely. Baidu's relationship with their host nation should be a source of concern for us all. I've heard some interesting and unusual stories.

But they're probably aware of this issue and know enough to go looking to purge their caches.

    Or Baidu know enough to not purge their caches. Think of the amount of tangible gratitude that their host nation would show them for access to some potentially tasty information....

      Swap baidu for google or microsoft in that sentence and it still has the same problems. Every government 3 letter agency has a vested interest in the secrets.

      Well, purge their public cache, after taking a private dump and supplying it to those who would find value in such a thing.
