As Google Maps Renames Neighborhoods, Residents Fume
Because of the power of mind share, Google has the power to control borders.<p>The border between Israel and the West Bank is an odd one.<p>&#x27;Both sides&#x27; have their view of it.<p>But if 7 Billion people on planet earth grow up seeing one version of the border, it&#x27;s what they will come to believe as &#x27;true&#x27; and effectively support - particularly those in modern nations that might have influence.<p>China is aware of this and they control any maps their citizens will ever see.<p>&quot;Of course all that ocean between Philippines and Vietnam belongs to China!&quot; is what most Chinese citizens will assume, after all, they saw it on their maps growing up. While the rest of us will have seen a different map.
