Google Launches Google Local In China

I’ve been meaning to mention long-time search marketer Shakil Khan’s new blog on life in China, Chinawhite, where he’s going to be

cars in Beijing in English, and have no idea what I
got back — but it does look like local listings for the area, along with a map.
