Yes it does

I like this - when you use the Google tool ( . google . com/governmentrequests/" target="_blank">www . google . com) and go to China, the text reads "Chinese officials consider censorship demands as state secrets, so we cannot disclose that information at this time . "

Even the censorship requests are censored!! So much for Google transparency . . .
