Google has posted a page with a listing of where they are getting
government requests for additional data and where they are getting
requests to remove data:

http://www.google.com/governmentrequests/

Now, China seems to be a special case as Google notes that censorship
request are considered state secrets, so Google can not make that data
available at present... Among the nations Google does make the
government requests available for, I was surprised at the "leader" in
this area, both for additional data and for removal requests, the
world leader is : Brazil ... I would have expected ... well, one of
several other nations with a larger population and/or reputations for
being more ... paranoid.
