Apple Maps Accidentally Revealed a Top Secret Military Base

From the gizmodo.com article: Taiwan's secret radar, which was supplied by Raytheon, was probably on China's metaphorical radar already

"Probably"? I bet that the People's Republic knows the location at least as well as the Taiwanese government, and I bet there's a treaty obligation to tell. That was true of USA/USSR relationship during the cold war. "Secret" missile silos were only secret from the ordinary citizens of the respective countries. The military establishments knew locations of the other's missiles.

So, why keep it secret from their own citizens? Given that statistically speaking, there's very few real national security secrets, keeping secrets from citizens probably just enables fraud, waste, corruption and cover-ups at biblical scale.
