The latest MaxMinds GeoIP country dataset reports, for example:

    IP and Google location   MaxMinds GeoIP
    ----------------------   -------------
    172.253.3.0/25   nrt     JP, Japan
    172.253.3.128/25 lbg     JP, Japan
    172.253.4.0/25   hkg     HK, Hong Kong
    172.253.4.128/25 lbg     HK, Hong Kong
    172.253.5.0/25   hkg     HK, Hong Kong
    172.253.5.128/25 mad     HK, Hong Kong
    172.253.6.0/25   hkg     HK, Hong Kong
    172.253.6.128/25 nrt     JP, Japan

Only the last pair matches the Google data in both halves of the /24.
Neither LBG (Paris) nor MAD (Madrid) are in HK.
