The implications of this are not obvious, since what constitutes "geographic information" is so vague. Although clearer definitions will be set, I can't believe that the authorities intend to, or are capable of monitoring and regulating every bit of information that might be geocoded with location coordinates.

Mike,

Do you think that the US-China relationship is strong enough for China to force US authorities to press charges against anyone here in the US to acquires/uses/distributes this data? I'm not familiar enough with our foreign policies with China, nor any of the US legalese to know.

"Those who ignore the law and collect, process and distribute the country’s geographical information without authorization will be severely punished, the law states." --- I thought the "severely punished" portion of this quote was the most humorous.
