David:

You could try this technique in Google to identify world map imaged
located on Chinese gov't websites.

conduct an "image" search in google with the following formula:

"world" site:gov.cn

or

"world map" site:gov.cn

Then click on an image to see what website it comes from. Of course you
might get western-produced images.
