"After text, pictures, and videos, China starts regulating Internet map
publishing (here is the google translation.) The government believes that
Internet maps can represent the state's sovereignty and its political and
diplomatic positions in the international community . and consequently,
inaccurate maps could harm national interests and dignity, produce bad
political influences, reveal national secrets and harm national security,
in addition to harming consumer interests."
