Open IMINT uncovers Chinese miniature landscape

Google Maps is quite a revolution in Open Source Intelligence, as it provides access for ordinary people to rather good satelite imagery.

A good example is a Google Earth community that has uncovered a strange sight in China. The Chinese have created a miniature landscape, including mountains, rivers and roads. Alledgedly it is modelled over a piece of disputed territory between India and China.

It is a known fact that the (US) military can make Google cover sensitive areas with wood or otherwise on the pictures. Never the less you can still find a lot of military and corporate sites using the service.
