Google Earth China

Given the state visit by the Chinese leader this week, let's have a look at a comic from about a year ago when Chan Lowe, cartoonist with the South Florida Sun Sentinel, made this cartoon at about the same time that  cartoonist Daryl Cagle made this one. I'm pretty sure the issue was concerning China's insisting on censoring/blocking Google China website, though it seems less clear to me that this was Cagle's focus.  Lowe appears to think messing with Google could result in a threat to China's very existence.  I'm not so sure.  At any rate, China has launched their own version of Google Earth.
