Country with most content blocked by Facebook

Based on the request of South Asian nation’s government (reported by WSJ), Facebook in India blocks more content than any other nation from January – June 2015.  That’s over 15K pieces of content restricted and a surge of three-times more than last year for platforms that included Messager, Instagram and WhatsApp.  It totals 75% of overall restriction for 93 countries – purpose primarily related to religious and state criticism...

India ranks #2 with 130 Million monthly users behind the U.S. and is also #2 ranked for government requesting Facebook data, totaling just over 5,000 (an increase of 12% from last year).  #1 is U.S. with over 17,000 requests in the first half of the year and up 14% from last year.
What would numbers be for China?
