The "accuracy" of the China's mapping authority focuses on checking whether the territory of China is correct and completed. In the China authority point of view, the correct and completed China's maps should include Taiwan, and some controversial areas such as Diaoyu Islands. That's the accuracy they concern. Even though those are not facts, they still persist to claim those areas are belong to China. "Accuracy"!?
