Question: Why is China blocking my diplomacy?

Why is it that if I enter the coordinates of Tiananmen Square (which are 39°54′12″N, 116°23′30″E) in any format, Google Earth responds with "Your search returned no results"?

I have tried entering the coordinates in several formats. Am I being blocked? Beijing's coordinates (Latitude: 39° 55' 44 N, Longitude: 116° 23' 18 E) work.

Thanks!

According to a Google search of "Google Earth Tiananmen Square," it's viewable, apparently.

Try these coordinates? 39 54'9"N, 116 23'33"E

I've found Google Earth to be absurdly picky about how the coordinate is entered. Try:

39 55' 44"N, 116 23' 18"E

I didn't even realize the difference in the formatting there. It works good, lasts long time.

Thank you very much!!
