you need to use following code:

function map_place_change(){
    var value = $(this).val(); // value = "CN"
    var text = $(this).find("option:selected").text();// China
}

$('#placeSelect').change(function(){
  alert($('#placeSelect option:selected').html());
});

your function would be something like:

function map_place_change(){
    alert($('#placeSelect option:selected').html());
}
