> Given that all of China's potential enemies have detailed satellite maps of the region and aren't in the slightest bit inconvenienced in their targeting accuracy because of GCJ-02, that's obviously false. What makes the situation even funnier is that Google-Earth-style satellite images were (and still are?) not regulated as maps, and they're free to be published with unobstructed WGS-84 coordinates. Only the maps are regulated to use GCJ-02. If you use a standard GPS receiver, your location will be perfectly normal in satellite view, until you switch the display to map view. Claiming it can protect "national security" is just fooling oneself.
