    AFAIK, Google is blocked in China, they use a site called Baidu?

    Google is still persuading China to have an open internet interaction til now. So I think you should wait a little more time until the negotiation has been completed. I'm sorry I can't post a link here yet.

    Hi James,

    Here is a web page at Google that explains details about Google Places and about a third of the way down is a link to "Country Availability". You can get a sense of where Google Places is available and keep checking back on this page to see if there are any updates.

    https://support.google.com/places/answer/142902?hl=en

    Having said that, I agree with the other comments and not sure how likely it will be to see China on this list.

    Hope this helps.

    I guess you realize China censors search engines, which is why Baidu has a monopoly on China search.

    There's no way China will tolerate a US search engine like Google (or anyone else) to dominate search in their country. Think North Korea with free wifi.
