’s cross-hairs, making an app available in its App Store that is seen as aiding anti-government protesters in Hong Kong.

People’s Daily Online, the state-run newspaper of the Communist Party, blasted Apple for providing access to the app, HKmap.live, in its App Store. The app “claims to provide transportation information for the convenience of the public,” the paper said — but instead, it provides the location of local police in an effort to assist protesters.
