TW, HK, and MO, presumably.  They are still treated as different from
China by the U.N. Statistics Division, so we still carry them (and
will continue to do so even if UNSD changes its mind).

In general, such cases get region subtags only if UNSD thinks they are
very different economically from the parent countries.  That has nothing
much to do with language, but it's what we are stuck with.
