Beijing: It is reported that Israel has been removed from the leading digital maps of Israel. The Wall Street Journal reported that the multinational Chinese tech companies Alibaba and Baidu cut Israel from their online maps.
The map shows the internationally recognized borders of Israel, the Palestinian territories and major cities, but does not specify the name of the country. The Wall Street Journal reports that even small countries, including Luxembourg, are listed in Alibaba’s Amap app.
It is not clear whether the removal of the Chinese name from the apps is a new move. However, in the context of the war, the discussion on Chinese social media apps has come to a head, according to the report. Alibaba and Baidu have not officially responded to the new controversy.
China has reiterated its support for Palestine in the new West Asian issue. China has repeatedly stated the position it has continued since the time of Mao Zedong. Recently, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Mao Ning, responded that two states is the solution and if there are measures for that, the problem can be ended immediately.
At the same time, Israel and Hamas have been asked to prepare for a ceasefire. China has also come out once morest the intervention of outside parties, including the United States, in the war.
Summary: Israel ‘dropped’ from digital maps released by Chinese tech companies, Alibaba and Baidu.
