A mobile phone user looks at the icons of the mobile apps of Alphabet Inc's Google on his smartphone in Beijing, China, 16 January 2018.Alphabet Inc's Google said on Tuesday (16 January 2018) it has made "no changes" to its mapping platform in China, denying an earlier media report that claimed it was re-launching the function in China, where many of its services are blocked. Japan's Nikkei reported earlier that Google had set up a China-specific version of the Google Maps website for the first time in eight years and introduced a map application for Chinese iPhones for the first time. Google, however, stated that the Google Maps browser has been available in China for many years while there is no Maps application offered in the country.No Use China. No Use France.
