Indeed. I studied in China for a year (in 2005) and I remember that amongst the recommendations for travelers, one was to avoid showing your travel guides - or at least the maps - as most would raise eyebrows. I remember covering Taiwan on the map with my hand a few times when asking other college students about recommendations for holiday travels, so they wouldn&#x27;t pick up on it.<p>On the other hand, it&#x27;s not like it was grounds for paranoia either: that was usually a good conversation starter on the train. There&#x27;s a wide disconnect between what the government says it will enforce, what it actually enforces, and what people actually think.<p>You could get into some weird conversations, but I generally did not come across much animosity because of these maps. Awkwardness, at worst. If there was any, you&#x27;d simply back out and apologize for the map being inaccurate.
