hackingbear writes "After text, pictures, and videos, China starts regulating Internet map publishing (here is the google translation.) The government believes that Internet map can represent the state's sovereignty and its political and diplomatic positions in the international community. And consequently inaccurate map could harm national interests and dignity, produce bad political influences, reveal national secrete, harm national security, in addition to harm consumer interests. So from now on, publishing maps would require approval and (yet another) license from the state survey bureau. That means google/yahoo etc. need to remove China from the map; or maybe they just pay up some officials and their agents to acquire yet another license. And our newest 80Gbps DPI monsters need to be upgraded to identify maps together with porns."
