"We hope to reach a conclusion on this soon; until then, we will continue to operate ditu.google.cn in accordance with local Chinese law. As we've said, we are committed to ensuring that our products in China are not censored."

"Government pays for licences after tech giant given free information."

or "How Google’s open-ended maps are embroiling the company in some of the world’s touchiest geopolitical disputes." Features Ogle Earth's coverage of several of these disputes.
