This is necessitated by the state mandated distortion... 其政府所規定之偏移…

We observe we can obtain the exact same three points,

via 搜狗 Sogou API's type=1, 2, 3. We also notice type=1 is a plain Mercator projection, Clarke 1866 ellipsoid, a=6378206.4 rf=294.978698213898 .

Note not all sites are actually reachable from inside China, as one can test,
