Not as much as North Korea though. They don't even receive TV or radio signals from outside their borders!

I remember hearing some time ago that if you search for images of Tiananmen Square from inside China you get standard (usually recent) pictures of the square but outside of China your search results will contain mostly images of the protests in 1989. I remember testing this using a proxy server based in china and found it to be true at the time (some years ago) and it sounds like things haven't changed much.
