Barack is nominated as the most-impacting person on baidu’s latest profile page (http://renwu.baidu.com/ ). There are only six featured profiles so far, and Barack is the first non-Chinese featured. I checked the page. The page is filled with pictures and stories that are very informational and generally positive about Obama. Unfortunately the headline reads " 'Black Kid' Obama: Eveything is Possible!" The Chinese media still needs some training about racial stereotype.
Similarly the popular blog that reported this story also showed some ignorance about Baidu.com, assuming it somehow represented the view of the Chinese government.

Baidu contributes Obama’s success to the use of internet. That’s a bit of a stretch, even as a marketing tool.
