The 2013 Nobel Peace Prize - History With Mainland Chinese Characteristics on Baidu's Version of Wikipedia

On October 11, 2013, the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2013 was awarded to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) "for its extensive efforts to eliminate chemical weapons."

These screenshots show that, while Baidu has updated its Encyclopedia (百科 Baike) entry for "Nobel Peace Prize" to include the 2013 winner, it has yet to record who won the prize is 2010.

On October 8, 2010, the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2010 was awarded to Liu Xiaobo (刘晓波) "for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China."

These screenshots show that, some time during the last year, Baidu's Encyclopedia entry for the Nobel Peace Prize was also edited to remove reference to the 1989 winner, the Dalai Lama.
