According to the Chinese media, China's Top Search Engine Baidu will test water of blogger at the middle of June, "Baidu Space" , the name of the program, will then be launched out. <note: it's not the offical news from baidu, you'll find if it's true just in 2 weeks or so.

I found an article about this in English:

Baidu Launches New Blog Service [chinatechnews.com]
Chinese search engine Baidu.com (BIDU) has launched a beta blog service "Baidu Space" and plans to open it online on July 13.

According to the article Sina, Sohu, BlogCN, Bokee.com, ChinaBlog.net and others already have their own blogging services. Looks like a busy space Baidu is stepping into, but with their name recognition they should do well.
