Senior Technology Analyst Eric Bleeker takes a look at the continuing battles in the Chinese Internet space, this time examining recent mobile moves. The big news in the space across the past week had Baidu taking another run at creating a relevant mobile browser after its first attempts failed to gain traction. Then we had Baidu's new search nemesis, Qihoo, seeing Huawei end a recent partnership to create customized smartphones for the company.
