Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation Of Financial Statements	1. ORGANIZATION , CONSOLIDATION AND PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Baidu, Inc. (“Baidu” or the “Company”), its subsidiaries, variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and the subsidiaries of the VIEs. The Company, its subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of the VIEs are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Group.” As of June 30, 2020, the Company has subsidiaries incorporated in countries and jurisdictions including the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), Hong Kong, Japan, Cayman Islands and British Virgin Islands (“BVI”). As of June 30, 2020, the Company also effectively controls a number of VIEs through the Primary Beneficiaries, as defined below. The VIEs include: • Beijing Baidu Netcom Science Technology Co., Ltd. (“Baidu Netcom”), controlled by the Company; • Beijing Perusal Technology Co., Ltd. (“Beijing Perusal”), controlled by the Company; • Beijing iQIYI Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (“Beijing iQIYI”), and other VIEs controlled by iQIYI, Inc. (“iQIYI VIEs”); and • Other VIEs controlled by the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries. The Group offers online marketing services, operates AI-powered new business initiatives, and operates an online video platform offering membership services of its content library and online marketing services. The Group’s principal geographic market is in the PRC. The Company does not conduct any substantive operations on its own, but conducts its primary business operations through its subsidiaries and VIEs in the PRC. PRC laws and regulations prohibit or restrict foreign ownership of internet content, advertising, audio and video services, and mobile application distribution businesses, etc. To comply with these foreign ownership restrictions, the Group operates its websites and primarily provides services subject to such restriction in the PRC through the VIEs, the PRC legal entities that were established or whose equity shares were held by the individuals authorized by the Group. The paid-in paid-in Despite the lack of legal majority ownership, there exists a parent-subsidiary relationship between the Primary Beneficiaries and the VIEs through the aforementioned agreements with the shareholders of the VIEs. The shareholders of the VIEs effectively assigned all of their voting rights underlying their equity interest in the VIEs to the Primary Beneficiaries. In addition, through the other exclusive agreements, which consist of operating agreements, technology consulting and services agreements and license agreements, the Primary Beneficiaries, by themselves or their wholly-owned subsidiaries in the PRC, demonstrate their ability and intention to continue to exercise the ability to absorb losses or receive economic benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. The VIEs are subject to operating risks, which determine the variability of the Company’s interest in those entities. Based on these contractual arrangements, the Company consolidates the VIEs as required by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation Unrecognized revenue-producing assets held by the VIEs include certain internet content provisions and other licenses, domain names and trademarks. The internet content provisions and other licenses, which are held by the VIEs that provide the relevant services, are required under relevant PRC laws, rules and regulations for the operation of Internet businesses in the PRC, and therefore are integral to the Company’s operations. In the opinion of the Company’s legal counsel, (i) the ownership structure relating to the VIEs of the Company is in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations; (ii) the contractual arrangements with the VIEs and their shareholders are valid, binding and enforceable, and will not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect; and (iii) the performance of the VIEs and their shareholders is in compliance with the articles of association and business licenses of the VIEs. However, uncertainties in the PRC legal system could cause the Company’s current ownership structure to be found in violation of any existing and/or future PRC laws or regulations and could limit the Company’s ability, through the Primary Beneficiaries, to enforce its rights under these contractual arrangements. Furthermore, shareholders of the VIEs may have interests that are different with those of the Company, which could potentially increase the risk that they would seek to breach the existing terms of the aforementioned agreements. In addition, if the current structure or any of the contractual arrangements were found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws, the Company may be subject to penalties, which may include but not be limited to, the cancellation or revocation of the Company’s business and operating licenses, being required to restructure the Company’s operations or discontinue the Company’s operating activities. The imposition of any of these or other penalties may result in a material and adverse effect on the Company’s ability to conduct its operations. In such case, the Company may not be able to operate or control the VIEs, which may result in deconsolidation of the VIEs. The following tables set forth the financial statement balances and amounts of the VIEs and their subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements after the elimination of intercompany balances and transactions among VIEs and their subsidiaries within the Group.

Basis of Presentation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the instructions to Regulation S-X 10-01. Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which are comprised of the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2020, and the Company’s consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2020. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for a full-year period or for any future period. The consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Management evaluates estimates, including those related to the standalone selling prices of performance obligations and amounts of variable considerations of revenue contracts, the allowance for credit losses of accounts receivable, contract assets and debt securities, fair values of certain debt and equity investments, future viewership patterns and useful lives of licensed copyrights and produced content, future revenues generated by the broadcasting and sublicensing rights of content assets (licensed and produced), ultimate revenue of produced content predominantly monetized on its own, fair values of licensed copyrights and produced contents monetized as a film group or individually, fair value of nonmonetary content exchanges, impairment of long-lived assets, long-term investments and goodwill, the purchase price allocation and fair value of noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests with respect to business combinations, deferred tax valuation allowance and the valuation and recognition of share-based compensation arrangements among others. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Currency Translation for Financial Statements Presentation Translations of amounts from RMB into US$ for the convenience of the reader have been calculated at the exchange rate of RMB7.0651 per US$1.00 on June 30, 2020, the last business day in the second quarter of 2020, as published on the website of the United States Federal Reserve Board. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at such rate.

Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Value added taxes are presented net against revenues. The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue source: For the six months ended June 30, 2019 June 30, 2020 June 30, 2020 RMB RMB US$ (In millions) (unaudited) Online marketing 36,894 31,931 4,520 iQIYI membership service 6,844 8,673 1,228 iQIYI content distribution 986 1,463 207 Others 5,725 6,512 920 Other revenue 13,555 16,648 2,355 Total revenue 50,449 48,579 6,875 The Company’s revenue recognition policies are as follows: Performance-based online marketing services Cost-per-click The Company’s auction-based P4P platform enables customers to bid for priority placement of paid sponsored links and reach users who search for information related to their products or services. P4P online marketing customers can choose from search-based and feed-based online marketing services, and select criteria for their inventory purchase, such as daily spending limit and user profile targeted, including, but not limited to, users from specific regions in China and users online during specific time period. Revenue is recognized when all of the revenue recognition criteria are met, which is generally when a user clicks on one of the customer-sponsored links or feed-based marketing. Other performance-based online marketing services To the extent the Company provides online marketing services based on performance criteria other than cost-per-click, pre-determined Online display advertising services The Company provides online display advertising services to its customers by integrating text description, image and/or video, and displaying the advertisement in the search result, in Baidu Feed or on other properties.

The Company acquires traffic from Baidu Union partners and is responsible for service fulfillment, pricing and bearing inventory risks. As principal, the Company recognizes revenue on a gross basis, based on customer billing. Payments made to Baidu Union partners are recorded as traffic acquisition costs, which are included in “cost of revenues” in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Online marketing services customers are required to pay a deposit before using our services. Once their account balance falls below a designated amount, they will receive an automated notice from the Company to replenish their accounts. Customer deposit is deducted when a user clicks on the customer’s link in the search result or when other performance criteria other than CPC have been satisfied. The Company offers payment terms generally within 3 months to certain customers based on their credit history with the Company and other credit factors. The Company may also offer payment terms to certain agencies, as is common in the industry. Collection Certain customers of online marketing services are required to pay a deposit before using our services and are sent automated reminders to replenish their accounts when the balance falls below a designated amount. The deposits received are recorded as customer deposits and deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The amounts due to the Company are deducted from the deposited amounts when users click on the paid sponsored links in the search results or other performance criteria have been satisfied. In addition, the Company offers payment terms to some of our customers based on their historical marketing placements and credibility. The Company also offers longer payment terms to certain online payment agencies, consistent with industry practice. Payment terms and conditions vary by customer and are based on the billing schedule established in our contracts or purchase orders with customers, but we generally provide credit terms to customers within one year; therefore, we have determined that our contracts do not include a significant financing component. Sales incentives The Company provides sales incentives to agents that entitle them to receive price reduction s Membership services The Company offers membership services that allow subscribers access to a library of premium content or personal cloud service s non-refundable on-demand Content distribution The Company generates revenues from sub-licensing sub-license non-exclusive sub-license sub-licensee sub-licensing sub-license sub-licensing sub-licensee sub-license sub-licensing The Company also enters into nonmonetary transactions to exchange online broadcasting rights of licensed copyrights with other online video broadcasting companies from time to time. The exchanged licensed copyrights provide rights for each party to broadcast the licensed copyrights received on its own website only. Each transferring party retains the right to continue broadcasting the exclusive content on its own website and/or sublicense the rights to the content it surrendered in the exchange. The Company accounts for these nonmonetary exchanges based on the fair value of the asset received. Barter sublicensing revenues are recognized in accordance with the same revenue recognition criteria above. The Company estimates the fair value of the licensed copyrights received using a market approach non-exclusive The Company recognized barter sublicensing revenues of RMB177 million and RMB939 million (US$133 million) and related costs of RMB174 million and RMB706 million (US$100 million) for the six-month Cloud services The Company provides cloud services, which include computing, database, storage and other services and allow customers to use hosted software over the contract period without taking possession of the software, generally on either a subscription or consumption basis. Revenue related to cloud services provided on a subscription basis is recognized ratably over the contract period. Revenue related to cloud services provided on a consumption basis, such as the amount of storage used in a period, is recognized based on the customer utilization of such resources. Sales of hardware The Company sells hardware products via distributors or directly to end customers. Revenue from the sales of hardware is recognized when control of the goods is transferred to customers, which generally occurs when the products are delivered and accepted by the customers. Revenue is recorded net of sales incentives and return allowance. Other revenue recognition related policies For arrangements that include multiple performance obligations, primarily for advertisements to be displayed in different spots, placed under different forms and displayed at different times, the Company would evaluate all of the performance obligations in the arrangement to determine whether each performance obligation is distinct. Consideration is allocated to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price. The Company generally determines standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers on a standalone basis or estimate s Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. For certain services , condensed consolidated balance sheet s Contract liabilities were mainly related to fees for membership services to be provided over the membership period, which were presented as “Customer deposits and deferred revenue” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Balances of contract liabilities were RMB billion and RMB billion (US$ million) as of December , and June , , respectively. Revenue recognized for the six-months ended that was included in contract liabilities as of January , was RMB billion (US$ million). Contract assets represent unbilled amounts related to the Company’s rights to consideration for advertising services delivered and are included in “Other current assets, net” on the condensed The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed. Investments Short-term investments All highly liquid investments with original maturities of greater than three months, but less than twelve months, are classified as short-term investments. Investments that are expected to be realized in cash during the next twelve months are also included in short-term investments. The Company accounts for short-term debt investments in accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments – Debt Securities “held-to-maturity,” “available-for-sale,” Securities that the Comp a the held-to-maturity Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities, in accordance with ASC 320. Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities are included in earnings. Debt investments not classified as trading or as held-to-maturity available-for-sale The allowance for credit losses of the debt securities is charged to “Others, net”, not to exceed the amount of the unrealized loss. Any excess unrealized loss greater than the credit loss at a security level is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Long-term investments The Company’s long-term investments consist of equity investments with readily determinable fair value, equity method investments, equity investments without readily determinable fair value, other investments accounted for at fair value, held-to-maturity available-for-sale Pursuant to ASC Topic 321, Investments–Equity Securities (“ASC 321”) Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures For equity investments measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings, the Company does not assess whether those securities are impaired. For equity investments that the Company elects to use the measurement alternative, the Company makes a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired at each reporting date. If a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired, the entity has to estimate the investment’s fair value in accordance with the principles of ASC 820. If the fair value is less than the investment’s carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss in net income equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Investments in entities in which the Company can exercise significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or control are accounted for using the equity method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 323, I nvestments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures condensed consolidated statements one-quarter The Company evaluates the equity method investments f In accordance with ASC 946-320 Financial Services—Investment Companies, Investments—Debt and Equity Securities re-measured Investments that the Company has positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity held-to-maturity Available-for-sale The allowance for credit losses of the debt securities is charged to “Others, net”, not to exceed the amount of the unrealized loss. Any excess unrealized loss greater than the credit loss at a security level is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. When the Company intends to sell an impaired available-for-sale debt security or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell such security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the available-for-sale debt security’s amortized cost basis is written down to its fair value at the reporting date. Produced content, net The Company produces original content in-house non-current s was RMB billion and RMB billion (US$ million), respectively. For produced content that is predominantly monetized in a film group, the Company amortizes film costs using an accelerated method based on historical and estimated viewing patterns of its produced contents. For produced content that is monetized on its own, the Company amortizes film costs using an accelerated method based on historical and estimated usage patterns of similar produced contents, which represents the Company’s best estimate of usage. Based on the estimated patterns, the Company amortizes produced content within three years, beginning with the month of first availability and such costs as included in “Cost of revenues” in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income Licensed copyrights, net Licensed copyrights consist of professionally-produced content such as films, television series, variety shows and other video content acquired from external parties. The license fees are capitalized and, unless prepaid, a corresponding liability is recorded when the cost of the content is known, the content is accepted by the Company in accordance with the conditions of the license agreement and the content is available for its first showing on the Company’s websites. Licensed copyrights are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheet s non-current The Company’s licensed copyrights include the right to broadcast and in some instances, the right to sublicense. The broadcasting right, refers to the right to broadcast the content on its own websites and the sublicensing right, refers to the right to sublicense the underlying content to external parties. When licensed copyrights include both broadcasting and sublicensing rights, the content costs are allocated to these two rights upon initial recognition, based on the relative proportion of the estimated total revenues that will be generated by each right over its economic useful lives. For the right to broadcast the contents on its own websites that generates online advertising and membership services revenues, the content costs are amortized using an accelerated method based on historical and estimated viewership consumption patterns over the shorter of each content’s contractual period or economic useful lives within four years, beginning with the month of first availability. Estimates of future viewership consumption patterns and economic useful lives for licensed copyrights are reviewed periodically, at least on an annual basis and revised, if necessary. Revisions to the amortization pattern are accounted for as a change in accounting estimate prospectively in accordance with ASC topic 250 (“ASC 250”), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. For the right to sublicense the content to external parties that generates direct content distribution revenues, the content costs are amortized based on its estimated usage pattern and recorded as cost of revenues. Impairment of licensed copyrights and produced contents Our business model is mainly subscription based, as such the majority of the Group’s content assets (licensed copyrights and produced contents) are predominantly monetized with other films and license agreements, whereas a smaller portion of the Company’s content assets are predominantly monetized at a specific title level such as variety shows and investments in a proportionate share of certain rights to films including profit sharing, distribution and/or other rights. Because the identifiable cash flows related to content launched on our Mainland China platform are largely independent of the cash flows of other content launched on our overseas platform, the Company identifies two separate film groups. The Company reviews its film groups and individual content for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate the fair value of a film group or individual content may be less than its unamortized costs. Examples of such events or changes in circumstances include, a significant adverse change technological, regulatory, legal, economic, or social factors, a change in the predominant monetization strategy of a film that is currently monetized on its own, a significant decrease in the number of subscribers or forecasted subscribers, or the loss of a major distributor, actual costs substantially in excess of budgeted costs, substantial delays in completion or release schedules, or a decrease in the amount of ultimate revenue expected to be recognized . When such events or changes in circumstances are identified, the Company assesses whether the fair value of an individual content (or film group) is less than its unamortized film costs, determines the fair value of an individual content (or film group) and recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the unamortized capitalized costs exceed the individual content’s (or film group’s) fair value. The Company mainly uses an income approach to determine the fair value of an individual content or film group, for which the most significant inputs include the forecasted future revenues, useful lives of individual contents (or licensed copyrights and produced content included in a film group) and discount rate. An impairment loss attributable to a film group is allocated to individual licensed copyrights and produced contents within the film group on a pro rata basis using the relative carrying values of those assets as the Company cannot estimate the fair value of individual contents in the film group without undue cost and effort. As the outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in a downward adjustment to forecasted revenues for the Mainland China film group, the fair value of the Mainland China film group was less than its corresponding carrying value as of March 31, 2020 and resulted in the Company recognizing an impairment charge for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of RMB million (US$ million) related to licensed copyrights and RMB million (US$ million) related to produced content, respectively. Impact of COVID-19 During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s operations has been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company’s online marketing revenues declined compared to the prior period mainly due to weakness in online advertising demand as its customers in certain industries are negatively impacted by COVID-19. The Company has also provided additional allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets, recognized impairment charges on its long-term investments and content assets, and recorded loss from equity method investments in the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to the impact of COVID-19 and other factors. In addition, increased market volatility has contributed to larger fluctuations in the valuation of the Company’ equity investments. There are still significant uncertainties of COVID-19’s future impact, and the extent of the impact will depend on a number of factors, including the duration and severity of COVID-19 , possibility of a second wave in China and other countries, the development of the vaccine and other medical treatment, the actions taken by government authorities to contain the outbreak, and government stimulus measures, almost all of which are beyond the Company’ control. As a result, certain of the Company’s estimates and assumptions, including the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of non-marketable equity securities, and fair value of financial assets, content assets or long-lived assets subject to impairment assessments, require significant judgments and carry a higher degree of variabilities and volatilities that could result in material changes to the Company’s current estimates in future periods.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. Level 2—Include observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3—Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity. ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset. Assets and Liabilities Measured or Disclosed at Fair Value on a recurring basis In accordance with ASC 820, the Company measures equity investments with readily determinable fair value, investments accounted for at fair value, available-for-sale held-to-maturity available-for-sale available-for-sale The fair value of the Company’s notes payable are extracted directly from their quoted market prices. The fair value of the convertible senior notes are based on broker quotes. The Company carries the convertible senior notes at face value less unamortized debt discount and issuance costs on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and presents the fair value for disclosure purposes only.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies	17. CONTINGENCIES Litigation The Group was involved in certain cases pending in various PRC, U.S. and Brazil courts and arbitration as of June 30, 2020. These cases include copyright infringement cases, unfair competition cases, and defamation cases, among others. Adverse results in these lawsuits may include awards of damages and may also result in, or even compel, a change in the Company’s business practices, which could result in a loss of revenue or otherwise harm the business of the Company. Starting in April 2020, the Group and certain of its officers were named as defendants in putative securities class actions filed in federal court. The case was purportedly brought on behalf of a class of persons who allegedly suffered damages as a result of alleged misstatements and omissions in the Group’s public disclosure documents related to Baidu Feed, which they believe did not comply with “PRC laws and regulations in all material respects”. In addition, the Group received a complaint alleging that between April 8, 2016 and August 13, 2020, the Group made material misrepresentations in disclosures filed with the SEC by misrepresenting the financial and business condition of iQIYI and failing to disclose that iQIYI had inadequate controls. Both of those cases remain in preliminary stage, the likelihood of any unfavorable outcome or the amount or range of any potential loss cannot be reasonably estimated at the issuance date of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. As a result, as of June 30, 2020, the Group did not record any liabilities for the loss contingencies pertaining to the cases described above. For many proceedings, the Company is currently unable to estimate the reasonably possible loss or a range of reasonably possible losses as the proceedings are in the early stages, and/or there is a lack of clear or consistent interpretation of laws specific to the industry-specific complaints among different jurisdictions. As a result, there is considerable uncertainty regarding the timing or ultimate resolution of such matters, which includes eventual loss, fine, penalty or business impact, if any, and therefore, an estimate for the reasonably possible loss or a range of reasonably possible losses cannot be made. However, the Company believes that such matters, individually and in the aggregate, when finally resolved, are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows. With respect to the limited number of proceedings for which the Company was able to estimate the reasonably possible losses or the range of reasonably possible losses, such loss estimates were insignificant.

Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Management evaluates estimates, including those related to the standalone selling prices of performance obligations and amounts of variable considerations of revenue contracts, the allowance for credit losses of accounts receivable, contract assets and debt securities, fair values of certain debt and equity investments, future viewership patterns and useful lives of licensed copyrights and produced content, future revenues generated by the broadcasting and sublicensing rights of content assets (licensed and produced), ultimate revenue of produced content predominantly monetized on its own, fair values of licensed copyrights and produced contents monetized as a film group or individually, fair value of nonmonetary content exchanges, impairment of long-lived assets, long-term investments and goodwill, the purchase price allocation and fair value of noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests with respect to business combinations, deferred tax valuation allowance and the valuation and recognition of share-based compensation arrangements among others. Management bases the estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when control of promised goods or services is transferred to the Company’s customers in an amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Value added taxes are presented net against revenues. The following table presents the Company’s revenues disaggregated by revenue source: For the six months ended June 30, 2019 June 30, 2020 June 30, 2020 RMB RMB US$ (In millions) (unaudited) Online marketing 36,894 31,931 4,520 iQIYI membership service 6,844 8,673 1,228 iQIYI content distribution 986 1,463 207 Others 5,725 6,512 920 Other revenue 13,555 16,648 2,355 Total revenue 50,449 48,579 6,875 The Company’s revenue recognition policies are as follows: Performance-based online marketing services Cost-per-click The Company’s auction-based P4P platform enables customers to bid for priority placement of paid sponsored links and reach users who search for information related to their products or services.

When licensed copyrights include both broadcasting and sublicensing rights, the content costs are allocated to these two rights upon initial recognition, based on the relative proportion of the estimated total revenues that will be generated by each right over its economic useful lives. For the right to broadcast the contents on its own websites that generates online advertising and membership services revenues, the content costs are amortized using an accelerated method based on historical and estimated viewership consumption patterns over the shorter of each content’s contractual period or economic useful lives within four years, beginning with the month of first availability. Estimates of future viewership consumption patterns and economic useful lives for licensed copyrights are reviewed periodically, at least on an annual basis and revised, if necessary. Revisions to the amortization pattern are accounted for as a change in accounting estimate prospectively in accordance with ASC topic 250 (“ASC 250”), Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. For the right to sublicense the content to external parties that generates direct content distribution revenues, the content costs are amortized based on its estimated usage pattern and recorded as cost of revenues.
Impairment of licensed copyrights and produced contents	Impairment of licensed copyrights and produced contents Our business model is mainly subscription based, as such the majority of the Group’s content assets (licensed copyrights and produced contents) are predominantly monetized with other films and license agreements, whereas a smaller portion of the Company’s content assets are predominantly monetized at a specific title level such as variety shows and investments in a proportionate share of certain rights to films including profit sharing, distribution and/or other rights. Because the identifiable cash flows related to content launched on our Mainland China platform are largely independent of the cash flows of other content launched on our overseas platform, the Company identifies two separate film groups. The Company reviews its film groups and individual content for impairment when there are events or changes in circumstances that indicate the fair value of a film group or individual content may be less than its unamortized costs. Examples of such events or changes in circumstances include, a significant adverse change technological, regulatory, legal, economic, or social factors, a change in the predominant monetization strategy of a film that is currently monetized on its own, a significant decrease in the number of subscribers or forecasted subscribers, or the loss of a major distributor, actual costs substantially in excess of budgeted costs, substantial delays in completion or release schedules, or a decrease in the amount of ultimate revenue expected to be recognized . When such events or changes in circumstances are identified, the Company assesses whether the fair value of an individual content (or film group) is less than its unamortized film costs, determines the fair value of an individual content (or film group) and recognizes an impairment charge for the amount by which the unamortized capitalized costs exceed the individual content’s (or film group’s) fair value. The Company mainly uses an income approach to determine the fair value of an individual content or film group, for which the most significant inputs include the forecasted future revenues, useful lives of individual contents (or licensed copyrights and produced content included in a film group) and discount rate. An impairment loss attributable to a film group is allocated to individual licensed copyrights and produced contents within the film group on a pro rata basis using the relative carrying values of those assets as the Company cannot estimate the fair value of individual contents in the film group without undue cost and effort. As the outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in a downward adjustment to forecasted revenues for the Mainland China film group, the fair value of the Mainland China film group was less than its corresponding carrying value as of March 31, 2020 and resulted in the Company recognizing an impairment charge for the six months ended June 30, 2020 of RMB million (US$ million) related to licensed copyrights and RMB million (US$ million) related to produced content, respectively.
Impact of COVID-19	Impact of COVID-19 During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company’s operations has been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company’s online marketing revenues declined compared to the prior period mainly due to weakness in online advertising demand as its customers in certain industries are negatively impacted by COVID-19. The Company has also provided additional allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets, recognized impairment charges on its long-term investments and content assets, and recorded loss from equity method investments in the six months ended June 30, 2020, due to the impact of COVID-19 and other factors. In addition, increased market volatility has contributed to larger fluctuations in the valuation of the Company’ equity investments. There are still significant uncertainties of COVID-19’s future impact, and the extent of the impact will depend on a number of factors, including the duration and severity of COVID-19 , possibility of a second wave in China and other countries, the development of the vaccine and other medical treatment, the actions taken by government authorities to contain the outbreak, and government stimulus measures, almost all of which are beyond the Company’ control. As a result, certain of the Company’s estimates and assumptions, including the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of non-marketable equity securities, and fair value of financial assets, content assets or long-lived assets subject to impairment assessments, require significant judgments and carry a higher degree of variabilities and volatilities that could result in material changes to the Company’s current estimates in future periods.
