Common China W
This refers to commercial maps like Baidu or Amap, not official maps provided by the Ministry of Natural Resources.
From https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/eng/xwfw_665399/s2510_665401/202310/t20231031_11171195.html
Reuters: It appears that the Baidu and Alibaba Gaode maps do not immediately show Israel unless people search for the country on those maps. Is there a reason that these platforms don’t identify Israel on their maps? Has China asked these platforms that provide map services to remove Israel? Also, does China still recognize Israel as a sovereign state?
Wang Wenbin: I believe you are aware that China and Israel have a normal diplomatic relationship. As for your questions, the relevant country is clearly marked on the standard maps issued by the Chinese competent authorities, which you may refer to.
Ministry of Natural Resources https://map.tianditu.gov.cn/ (English labels added by me)
Baidu https://map.baidu.com/
None of the countries are labeled at all, swallowing my head.
Neither Baidu nor Alibaba’s Amap are displaying names of either Israel or Palestine. The media reporting on this seem to have a resistance to fact-checking WSJ’s report.

They are like this all the time. Every tinyman day there’s a flurry of posts that some entire Beijing landmark has been wiped off of the map, yet just putting the place on Google translate and throwing it on Baidu always nets me results. Sometimes I wonder if these journalists even know baidu or the hanzi of the things they cite.
Bold of you to assume China “journalists” can finish reading a Chinese word without getting an instant heart attack from
Great, now help doing it IRL.
why would it matter what a Chinese map says? they’ve tried to claim areas in international waters but that doesnt actually mean anything.
You’re owned
You should have a look one day at how much of the pacific the US claims via its “freely” associated pacific colonies.
It doesn’t, silly, this isn’t even an official map… it’s at most just online users doing the opposite of Netanyahu’s map with no Palestine:
Even still, this is Fox News here, and it seems to be the case (see other comments) that these are commercial, not government maps, which are at worst giving Palestine the same treatment.
It’s called the South China Sea, 4head
Nuh uh
I think I know what happened to Israel on the Chinese map, everyone.
you should do an AMA on what’s it like to live with a single brain cell.
