China blocking Google Maps?

The search giant's bid for a license to offer a mapping service in China is being held up, Chinese media said. The move could benefit local rival Baidu (NASDAQ:BIDU - News). Google (NASDAQ:GOOG - News) can't provide its Google Maps service there without license from China's State Bureau of Surveying and Mapping. Google has clashed with Beijing over censorship issues. Google rose 1.9% to 596.33.
