They didn't really ban these songs. Born This Way has just been released over there and only Government Hooker was censored. This is a copyright issue. China doesn't have state laws against internet piracy, therefore they publish a blacklist every once in a while to protect copyright. They can't be legally listened to online, but they can be legally purchased in stores.

Songs placed on previous blacklists include Avril Lavigne's "What the Hell" and the Rolling Stones' version of "It's All Over Now" which dates to the 1960s.
Smile and Grilfriend were banned aswell, considerating she didn't perform them when she toured there
Yahoo said WTH and other sources said 3 songs but they don't put names
