Baidu founder calls China's tech experts home

摘要

Engineers returning to China still have plenty of opportunities in a country poised to shift from copying to innovating, the founder of Baidu told a gathering of 1,500 mostly Chinese tech experts in Silicon Valley. China's Internet search giant has no plans to design its own smartphone, but it does want to create new layers of software on top of Google's Android and open up its data centers to developers around the world, said Robin Li, at a conference of Chinese entrepreneurs.
