I am getting the same results as you over here, but google.cn results are not
identical to results from google.co.uk.
Results might be delivered differently by IP address.
On the contrary, compare
http://images.google.com/images?q=+tiananmen
with
http://images.google.cn/images?q=+tiananmen
As for the language you use to search for a particular term, I'm afraid I
don't know the answer. However, the above implies that not only language has
an impact. IP needn't play a role either.
