Baidu's List of Censored Search Terms

China’s New Tang Dynasty Television has obtained a list of the words censored by Baidu.com, China’s largest search engine, according to reports in The Epoch Times.

The list contains thirteen categories of politically sensitive words, including those related to counterrevolutionary activities, human rights and appeals, the Tiananmen Square Massacre, Falun Gong, ethnic relations, military secrets, and organ harvesting.

The phrase “Chinese Communist Party” tops the list of censored search terms. Other censored phrases include “end the rule of the Communist Party,” “dictatorship,” “one-party system,” “human rights in China,” “tyranny,” “ruling government,” and “brainwashing.”

Despite China’s heavy-handed Internet filtration regime, the large quantity of proxy software allows end-users to circumvent the government-imposed firewall.
