According to previous reports, Baidu CFO Shawn Wang was planned to announce details of a European expansion for China's largest search engine at a London conference. Baidu.com has denied such claims saying there are no plans to expand into Europe. "
Recent rumors alleging that Baidu.com is expanding into Europe are groundless," the company said in a brief statement released through its public-relations firm in Beijing.
While Baidu's business is largely focused on China, where it dominates the search market, the company recently launched a Japanese search engine as a first, tentative foray into the international market. That site remains blocked in China. Baidu officials have said they expect to spend $15 million on the company's Japanese site this year.
