The BBC compiled a list of China's Internet censorship instances. The list goes until the summer of 2010 and begins in 2001! Obviously there have been other more recent instances, but those are listed on our blog!
Because several of the other articles focus on Google and China, I'm going to address the issues that BBC lists. Basically Google enters China in 2006, and a few months later is criticized by the American government for giving in to China's censorship demands. Then again in 2010 Google decides to possibly withdraw from China, and within 2010 China and Google have continuous battles resulting in Google housing their Chinese business in Hong Kong and reducing their China market share.
Many other American and international firms have similar issues and can be found on the official list.
