I think if you view that data from outside China, it's not visible. That is, the details show up only while searching from within China.

And vice versa. If you're in China, you only get the most basic details for other countries - my hometown Oldham in the UK (population ~100,000) doesn't appear at all; nearby Rochdale is there but has no roads. And there are no satellite maps at all for anywhere outside China (except Taiwan and other places claimed by the PRC).
That'd be an interesting feature. Beijing, Shanghai, and such do show up from the UK. I will have to check the others when I get back to the big CN.
