       TIL: OSM mapping and apparently even operating/using any sort of GPS device is illegal in mainland China… 🤯https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restrictions_on_geographic_data_in_Chinahttps://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Chinese_tagging_guidelines#Legalityhttps://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/China#Legality> According to the Surveying and Mapping Law of the People's Republic of China, private surveying and mapping activities without authorization[a] are illegal in mainland China. "Since at least 2007, it has been effectively illegal for foreigners to operate a GPS device in China."
