independently operated subsidiary of Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU) and one of
the largest Internet and mobile video service providers in
China, today announced that
according to a recent report published by App Annie, iQIYI's mobile app, iQIYI Video HD,

Challenge. The report also noted that with iQIYI's recently
announced agreement with Paramount Pictures, iQIYI is well
