Apparently, some Israeli tourists going to travel in China with the latest Lonely Planet book were asked to hand in their very expensive book at the border-crossing due to its 'political nature' showing maps of China which color Taiwan in a different color suggesting that Taiwan is not a part of China.From fiLi’s world, based on this Israeli message board post. I found it on Asiapundit, which got it from The View from Taiwan. Truly, the Web is a powerful tool.

Also, all our corporate websites (even the international ones) aren't allowed to show things like: "Countries we operate in:" and then list something like Hong Kong, Macau and China among the other countries/territories...

Gotta please the Chinese government if you want to do any business there and not have all your exhibition goods confiscated.
