Is Taiwan a country? How about Kurdistan? Where are the borders of India? Google Maps needs to know. Google Maps needing to know is the technical problem, sure. But representing borders is a reasonably solved technical problem. The social problem is people disagree about those things, and Google Maps representing that disagreement (if it can be represented at all) is a secondary concern to third-parties who just want to provide accurate maps. And there's nothing technical that can be done to solve that disagreement. You could very well provide localized Indian borders when viewing Google Maps (which is actually easier to do, and keep updated, with electronic maps than with print maps), or show the areas in dispute as being in dispute, but the issue is that the parties that disagree think everyone else should see it their way (thus the nature of disagreement).
