I believe its about the map and coordinate system used by China. They uses an encrypted (?) coordinate system claiming national security. That’s why Google maps never work in China.
I do not think that is the case. OpenStreetMaps exist for mainland, and a lot of phones have BeiDou satnav system instead of just western GPS.
Google refused to comply with Chinese laws to respect the country, and exited mainland. Few other companies got banned because they disrespected and disregarded the laws. If Chinese companies did this in USA, they would be labelled terrorist organisation entities.
