The implications of this are not obvious, since what constitutes
"geographic information" is so vague. Although clearer definitions
will be set, I can't believe that the authorities intend to, or are
capable of monitoring and regulating every bit of information that

Mike,
Do you think that the US-China relationship is strong enough for China
to force US authorities to press charges against anyone here in the US
to acquires/uses/distributes this data? I'm not familiar enough with our
foreign policies with China, nor any of the US legalese to know.
"Those who ignore the law and collect, process and distribute the
country’s geographical information without authorization will be
severely punished, the law states." --- I thought the "severely
punished" portion of this quote was the most humorous.
