First, as Richard M. Smith has shown, there appears to be a case-
sensitivity bug (or is it a feature?  8-) ) in their "censorware".  

But even ignoring that...

Better, yes, BUT there is still a discrepancy of "about 1900" (or 
"about 11% of the larger number of results") fewer images returned by 
the Chinese site.  Given the age of the event, I doubt that such a size 
difference is due to "index-lag" between the, possibly primary, English 
language google.com and its non-English "equivalents" (mind you, I 
don't read or speak Chinese, so maybe the default at google.cn is NOT 
to return "all language" results???).
