The governments of France, Germany, and Italy are all a little upset with Google. China’s a bit upset with the search engine giant as well. Because of the way Google has portrayed a dispute border, Cambodia’s angry as well.
According to Reuters, Secretary of State of Cambodia’s Council of ministers, Svay Sitha, wrote a letter to Google to make a complaint about its interpretation of the area where Cambodia and Thailand touch.

“(The map) is devoid of truth and reality, and professionally irresponsible, if not pretentious,” Sitha said. “We therefore request that you withdraw the already disseminated, very wrong and not internationally recognized map and replace it.
It’s safe to say that Google won’t just swap in Cambodia’s favorite map, because then Thailand would be upset. This isn’t Google’s first time that the company was in a border dispute.
A good guess would be that Google would come up with three maps. One will be for those in Cambodia, another for Thailand and the third for everyone else. The first two will show borders favoring their respective countries while the third is going to use dotted lines to illustrate the dispute.
