I'd say it's a safe bet that stealing Google's source code wouldn't help much with replicating their datacenter infrastructure.
Baidu already uses Hadoop's HDFS and MapReduce. They also support Hypertable. I would guess that they could probably put "something" together over time.
HDFS and MapReduce have nothing to do with building and maintaining datacenters.
