This refers to commercial maps like Baidu or Amap, not official maps provided by the Ministry of Natural Resources.

From https://www.fmprc.gov.cn/eng/xwfw_665399/s2510_665401/202310/t20231031_11171195.html

Reuters: It appears that the Baidu and Alibaba Gaode maps do not immediately show Israel unless people search for the country on those maps. Is there a reason that these platforms don’t identify Israel on their maps? Has China asked these platforms that provide map services to remove Israel? Also, does China still recognize Israel as a sovereign state?

Wang Wenbin: I believe you are aware that China and Israel have a normal diplomatic relationship. As for your questions, the relevant country is clearly marked on the standard maps issued by the Chinese competent authorities, which you may refer to.

Baidu https://map.baidu.com/

https://amap.com:

None of the countries are labeled at all, swallowing my head.

Neither Baidu nor Alibaba's Amap are displaying names of either Israel or Palestine. The media reporting on this seem to have a resistance to fact-checking WSJ's report.

Lemmygrad fact checker seems to rank this as Debunked Fox News Lies.

They are like this all the time. Every tinyman day there's a flurry of posts that some entire Beijing landmark has been wiped off of the map, yet just putting the place on Google translate and throwing it on Baidu always nets me results. Sometimes I wonder if these journalists even know baidu or the hanzi of the things they cite.

Bold of you to assume China “journalists” can finish reading a Chinese word without getting an instant heart attack from china under the bed

Palestine

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.

Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.

We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.
