Shares of Youku Tudou (NYSE: YOKU) rose over 3% last Wednesday after announcing an exclusive partnership with Hong Kong Television Broadcast. Despite the great terms Youku has received under this deal, the company's stock is still down 4% year to date. Why?

Fool contributor Kevin Chen tells us why investors need to watch out for Baidu's (BIDU 0.98%) iQiyi, Sohu (SOHU -0.35%) TV, and Youku's merger last year with Tudou.
