Baidu Said it was conducting an investigation and Simple past would fully Cooperate With the regulator.

It is not clear That conventional treatment - surgery to remove the tumor Typically - synovial sarcoma Would Have That cured the rare Suffered from Wei. Reuters has not Been Able to reach the hospital for comment.

Critism 

Baidu has come in for fierce criticism for how it handles online search results Within ITS adverts, from an industry as sensitive as healthcare Especially, Which Nomura and Daiwa Analysts at say 20 to 30 percent Provides Its search of revenues. In 2015, 55.7 billion yuan search Were revenues ($ 8.6 billion), or 84 percent of Baidu's overall sales. "Whatever page you're looking at on Baidu is a mess of adverts," Said username FreedLiu on China's Weibo microblog, discussing Wei. "They're profiting from loads of People Who do not know Baidu auctions (its search results)." Baidu vigilance Said it applied to healthcare customers Particularly, with screening for misleading adverts and a verification program with additional scrutiny for medical advertisers.

"Over the years, we cleaned up the customer proactively Have basis," a company spokeswoman Said by email. It is not the first time the company has fallen foul of regulators and public review for ITS handling of healthcare ads and blogs, though it has not Suffered substantive Sanctions.

"Baidu has ADH issues come up About the types of medical ads since 2008 They accept," Said Mark Natkin, managing director of Marbridge Consulting in Beijing. BAD PRESS MOST Like search engines, Baidu places paid-for ads in Its search results, but in a series of Reuters search it included tests at Least twice as many ads as Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google, Which is blocked in China, and Placed Its list them in higher. Though Baidu marks Such items as promotions, highlights the word Also Google "Ad" in a yellow box. Baidu's spokeswoman Said the number of adverts on a page Depend on the search subject and Whether it was on PC or mobile, but Declined to give specifics for healthcare-related searches.

Even without Such Measures, the damage to Baidu's reputation Could hit it in the pocket. "The overwhelming negative press coverage over this incident Could Once Again shake Internet users' trust in Baidu's search results, Especially When people search for healthcare-related information," Said Nomura. "This would, in turn, Affect the performance for healthcare-related ads on Baidu, in our view."

Top Asian Destination for Chinese travellers

Top Asian Destination for Chinese travellers 



  1. Thailand 
  2. Singapour 
  3. Japan
  4. South Korea 
  5. Vietnam 
  6. Indonesia 



Singapore is no longer just a stop-over point for tourists catching connecting flights to beaches in Thailand and Bali.

More travelers are making the city state their final destination, in large part after ending a decades-old ban on casinos that’s helped to double the number of Chinese visitors to the country.
Tourism is proving to be one of the bright spots in Singapore’s otherwise sluggish economy. Official figures show income from tourism surged 25 percent in the four years since the first two casino resorts were opened in 2010 — flashy and modern complexes housing hotels, shopping malls and restaurants. Credit Suisse said last month that tourist arrivals this year will probably exceed forecasts from the Singapore Tourism Board, climbing as much as 8 percent to 16.5 million compared to 2015.
