    https://amap.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.

    Lemmygrad fact checker seems to rank this as Debunked Fox News Lies.

      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.
