Ogle Earth discuss the censorship of the Chinese edition of Google Maps. From the blog: “He concludes that there is censorship in the Chinese version of Google Maps (and the omission of the disputed Arunachai Pradesh area between China and India is a clear giveaway), but notes that both versions are available in China — so you can always use the international version if you want. [...] The more likely answer is that Google is bending to demands of the Chinese government as a price for being able to operate in the country.” In another entry, OE discuss new imagery censorship in France for Google data.
