These are Statcounter stats, which are typically put together by tacking traffic reported by web sources. I’m guessing Chinese search may not be referring too many people to the sites that contribute info to Statcounter.
Also worth noting that AI search isn’t counted hear, as far as the original source can tell. Maybe Google users are more likely to migrate to AI solutions (or just have more AI solutions available) than some of the alternatives listed here.
Then it probably also contributed to it, that if we can assume most users of Baidu are Chinese people in mainland China, then most of them wouldn’t be visit many non-domestic/non-Chinese website where StatCounter could get their tracking traffic reports from, because of a combination of CCP’s internet censorship that practically runs on a whitelist and blocks most nondomest website by default, as well as language barrier since most PRC residents have barely any functional English skill (like the ability to actually understand others in English or express ideas in English, as opposed to merely earn scores on a standardized English exam).
Yeah. I don’t know what stats they can aggregate, but I imagine they skew non-Chinese.
I’m very skeptical of Statcounter stuff in general, although it’s at least apples to apples if you’re tracking something over time. Google is likely dropping in usage. Where that’s going is maybe a bridge too far for what’s being collected.
