Search results by Bing in the Chinese language differs from search results in English, according to information from the blog 'Great Fire', which investigates cases of Chinese cyber censorship. It turns out that Bing censors results even if the user is outside of China. Moreover, within the Bing China warns users of cases where search results were filtered. But it does if you are outside the country, for example in U.S.
In particular, results
on Bing excluded if information on Chinese Tibetan spiritual leader the
Dalai Lama or protests on Tiananmen Square in 1989, violently repressed
sought.

onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#fff'">For example, search
results for the words 'Dalai Lama' not the Wikipedia page on him or his
official website included, but a documentary funded by China.
But the most striking example is the case of Freegate, a web application
that allows users to visit websites blocked by their governments.
According to investigators, Bing not supplied any search results for the
word 'Freegate' in Chinese, showing the notification that all search
results were eliminated due to legal regulations.

say it is difficult to ascertain the true dimensions of the censorship
of Microsoft and all the issues that the Chinese government wants to
hide, but are convinced that Bing omitted and negative news about China
worldwide.
However, the official response from Microsoft confirms that the
difference between the results of search in different languages is due
to an error.
