but there's plenty of them. And there's a huge complex in the zone that looks like missile silos. But why would leave those silos uncensored an censor "something else"? (I don't know what)

- molmalo 14y agoI don't know. Maybe Google or GeoEye, by request of the Chinese government. Google has accepted before to censor some places by request of governments around the world. From wikipedia: "Censorship of maps is also applied by Google maps, where certain areas are greyed out or areas are purposely left outdated with old imagery."
