China is awash with copycat companies, Tencent and Alibaba aren't doing anything new.

Great Tencent (who copied facebook, twitter) has passed Alibaba (who copied Ebay). Must be hard to keep coming up with new ideas which make your companies so successful. Oh wait...

I would love to know what google copied from baidu. That is something Ive never heard. Especially since Google opened and started doing business 2 years before baidu. How can a company doing something two years earlier than another company doing the same thing, possibly have copied the latter. Sounds impossible to me.
