Google has applied for Google Maps license in China [reuters.com]
Google Inc has applied for a license to operate its Google Maps product in China, China Business News reported on Tuesday, quoting an unnamed official.
Google needs a license from China's State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping to continue operating Google Maps in China. Recently, requirements for a mapping license were relaxed to allow for foreign online mapping providers, such as Google, to engage in joint ventures to provide the service. |

I'm not so sure they're going to be successful with this application. The regulations for mapping companies in China have just recently been shuffled.
