What we find in 'Google.com.cn'
"据当地法律法规和政策，部分搜索结果未予显示。"
When I use Chinese Google to search, sometimes I can see this sentence at the bottom of each searching web pages. The sentence means, “according to the local law and policy, part of the searching results do not show on the pages.” But, if I search the same thing in www.google.co.nz, the results are different and there is no this kind of sentence display on the searching page. It can be noticed that the censorship of China controls over the Internet, or even not only the Internet. And I think, it is hard to define whether the censorship is good or not.
When we search something the Chinese Communist party tries to “hide”, then they are not showing on the searching list.
For instant:

In fact, “it is not technically just China that does this. google has been asked and obliged many countries that certain words have altered search responses.”

It's abit more technical than just search pages not displaying legitimate search results, I will try and find some information about the technical side of what they're doing and provide some hints that you can try yourself at home to test, first I have to finish this 211 essay I will do some research during my breaks and get back to you
