deepin connects to baidu.com

Hi guys.
I was debugging my deepin DE and from journal i noticed that the dock connects to www.baidu.com every time i restart it.
Is it normal?

Re: deepin connects to baidu.com

Development is led by China-based Wuhan Deepin Technology Co., Ltd.

Plus it is hard-coded in a lot of their repositories. I'd guess it's a normal part of it's operation (for better or for worse).

To be fair, most of that is in a chromium framework clone or unit tests just like google.com and other domains.

The most suspicious location for the given connection is the connectivity checker, that tries a few URLs until it gets a successful response. The first in the list is baidu, bing second, google third:
