Q: How do you offer a satellite-style map solution (a la Google Maps) when your government censors what can/can’t be shown in overhead photos? A: Simply create amazing pixel art of major Chinese city skylines (link in Italian), like the one above, with any sensitive information removed. A beautiful solution to the ugly business of government censorship.
