This is a really well article outlining how the man-on-the-side attack on Baidu is carried out. The only flaw here is the logical leap that goes from "Baidu is being hijacked" to "Baidu is being hijacked by the Chinese government"

The attack is not on Baidu, but via Baidu.

Whoever is the attacker appears to control the great firewall of China. Who else would that be but the Chinese government?
