Baidu has something similar as well: http://j.map.baidu.com/hg2l

Are they doing this to get around some restrictions on showing real images?

there's no restriction, most of google earth works. personally i feel that these sim city maps are easier to view compared to live ariel photos.

i went to edushi to discuss a business opportunity, they were telling me how these were updated, i heard it's weekly. they also have a program with a school that teaches 3d studio max so they have a pipeline of people to help render these sim city like maps.
