HONG KONG (MarketWatch) -- Nasdaq-listed Chinese Internet search engine Baidu.com Inc. may consider listing shares in Hong Kong, according to media reports Thursday. Chief Executive Robert Li was quoted in wire reports as saying a Hong Kong listing would raise the company's profile and help fund expansion into new areas such as online auctions. Li reportedly made the comments while addressing students at a Hong Kong university. Baidu, which ranks as China's largest Internet search engine by revenue, is reportedly seeking out potential acquisition targets among Chinese Internet companies with stakes in the consumer-to-consumer market. Listing shares in Shanghai is unlikely for Baidu, which would have to overcome market regulations that effectively block foreign-owned firms from selling shares on Chinese exchanges. http://www.marketwatch.com/news/sto...1E-57DD-44A2-9FBF-4CA3BCB1A1E1}&dist=hplatest
