My reflex, seeing the headline, is to think, "I wonder if there's information to be gained from this: the knowledge of exactly what the Chinese government deems worth censoring might provide information in itself." Then I wonder if the people in charge of the censorship have thought of this, and are deliberately adding "noise", by censoring some random additional words or censoring everything in the same category as the words they actually want to censor. r0h1n's post suggests that the range of things they censor is surprisingly extensive, and might be evidence in favor of this hypothesis.
