Bit of a specific one, but if there's anyone that can help it's you guys. If a .co.uk website is looking to rank in Baidu with a .co.uk/cn subdirectory, would we require an Internet Content Publishing License? Taking a step back, it might be there's two parts to my question:

1. How likely is it a .co.uk. could rank in Baidu, with simplified Chinese language content?

2. In order to have a chance of ranking, would we require an Internet Content Publishing License?
