For the trouble with with Google Maps in China, I Googled and found that although there are people figuring out ways to analyze google's Javascript tricks(to present the right picture at the right place), recently Google has changed the interface so the old ways are rendered useless.
The new method gets the image from
http://mt1.google.cn/vt/lyrs=s@58&gl=cn ... =14&s=Gali
and
http://khm1.google.com/kh/v=58&x=13381& ... =14&s=Gali
to see the shift in the coordinates in the centre of picture.
