Baidu has many products on mobile market now, ranging from basic applications such as video, music, to the browser, the voice assistant, maps and other interface services and finally the Baidu Yi operating system.

In addition to open the Baidu Maps API, Baidu also makes the location mark service free, further polymerization local service information.

Finally, Yanhong Li mentioned Baidu's "internationalization strategy". Earlier, Baidu had headed to Japan, but the market response is not as expected. Baidu's international strategy then began to target in some underdeveloped countries and regions, getting into Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Egypt, Argentina, Turkey, Brazil and other regions. Baidu in launched a desktop management software Baidu PC Faster in Thailand. With the continuous development of the Internet business of telecommunications, these new areas will surge in the demand for Internet services, Baidu has big chances in these places.
