      I guess nobody in China will get that little joke, seeing as the Chinese government keeps blocking google.

      I think its probably google's little dig at the Chinese government. Google know that said gov watch them, and block them, so its kind of pointing out to the gov that China and Taiwan are separate places (something the Chinese government wont acknowledge) without risk of offending anyone, because the Taiwanese will be able to see it but the Chinese wont.

      But its not a China thing, especially when you enter to get directions between Los Angeles and Sydney then scroll down to instruction 29...also check the distance next to the instruction! Then scroll again to instruction 90 !!

      NOTE: To possible spoilsports...keep your copy and paste to yourself and allow others to find out for themselves.
