I think that Michael's point is that HK and Macao are part of 
the PRC, so this might be confusing.  We have:

   PRC China Chinese in simplified script
   Hong Kong Chinese in simplified script
   Macao Chinese in simplified script
   Taiwan Chinese in simplified script
   Singapore Chinese in simplified script

It would be good to come up with an alternative to the first 
of these, eg:

   PRC Mainland Chinese in simplified script
