Censorship in action. Compare: google.com Image search for Tiananmen (22,100 hits), and google.cn image search for Tiananmen (413 hits). And I don't see any of Google's promised "some stuff has been censored from this search" notifications.
But it's not quite perfect: see page 5 of the results (although the host concerned has already been taken down).
Posted by gerv at February 3, 2006 2:28 PMI believe the "some stuff has been censored" message is bottom left on the page, in Chinese characters. Compare this: http://images.google.cn/images?q=tiananmen to this: http://images.google.cn/images?q=pizza . But maybe it's not, I don't know any Chinese :-)

Me neither, but I can't read Mandarin.
Posted by: guanxi at February 3, 2006 8:40 PMAt the bottom of the search you linked:
据当地法律法规和政策，部分搜索结果未予显示。
Which (computer-translated) is:
According to the local law laws and regulations and the policy, partially searches the result does not demonstrate.
Hmm... The .cn link redirects to the other one over here... Wonder what's up with that.

Looks like the censorship isn't enough for China:

Tom: Thanks :-) I looked at the top of the results, but not at the bottom.
