The WikiProject China/Chinese cities workgroup aims primarily to standardize

municipalities of the PRC (Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, Tianjin) are covered by the WikiProject China/Chinese provinces workgroup, but due to their nature as cities, they will also follow some of the guidelines given here. This WikiProject is likely not going to cover Taiwan, Macau, and Hong Kong

at this stage.
