'''Baidu Baike''' is a [[Chinese]] alternative to the Chinese language [[Wikipedia]].  Baidu Baike is run in conjunction with the Chines search engine [[Baidu]]. Both Baidu and Baidu Baike are heavily censored in compliance with the [[communist]] government of mainland China. <ref>http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/05/11/1841224</ref> The actual Chinese Wikipedia instead engages in self-censorship. The article about [[Mao]] on the Chinese Wikipedia downplayed the millions of deaths he was responsible for.<ref>http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/11/29/news/wiki.php </ref> Even with this censorship, Baidu Baike's centralization and lack of tolerance for anonymous editors has allowed it to grow faster than the Chinese Wikipedia.

The refusal of censoring itself resulted in a year-long ban of the site by the Chinese government.<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/6154444.stm</ref> Even with this censorship, Baidu Baike's centralization and lack of tolerance for anonymous editors has allowed it to grow faster than the Chinese Wikipedia.{{fact}}
