Yahoo China to evolve into business-oriented search engine...

This development bodes ill for Google's efforts in China, too. I wonder how much of Google's technology is linked specifically to the English language:

Yahoo's China portal will be reoriented as a business-oriented search engine, the company's head announced Monday, saying the firm had to change or fail amid intense competition from domestic rivals. Search is a huge and fast growing business in China and surveys show Yahoo lagging far behind the NASDAQ-listed Baidu.
