Shanghai will be home to Google Inc's third Chinese-based research and development center, the online search giant announced yesterday. The company also said it will more than double the number of Chinese sites using Google generated advertising by the end of this year.

The company is currently searching for a suitable site for the research center, which is scheduled to open next year, said Kaifu Lee, the company's co-president in China.

Lee said he still doesn't know how many people the center will employ, but staff size will be based on the quality of local engineers and other workers.
