Google corrects map border error
The department said the map posted on Google Maps incorrectly attributed thousands of square kilometres of Vietnamese territory to China.
It put the borderline from Dien Bien province to Mong Cai city in Quang Ninh province in the wrong place and a number of border gates, such as those at Tan Thanh and Thanh Thuy, in Chinese territory.
However, Dang Thai Son, an official from the ministry's Borderline Centre, said errors still remained in Google's map.
