I guess since we might as well get these discussions going for future reference. Better to be prepared. So how do we do China?
Found this:
22 provinces
Anhui, Fujian, Guangdong, Guizhou, Hainan, Hebei, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Gansu, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Qinghai, Shaanxi, Shandong, Shanxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Zhejiang, and, in the northeast (Manchuria), Heilongjiang, Jilin, and Liaoning),
five autonomous regions (Tibet, the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region, the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region),
and four government-controlled municipalities (Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, and Tianjin)
Yes, that’s correct. Basically, all the provinces, autonomous regions, and the four municipalities that you’ve listed function at an equal level in the national government.
I suspect there isn’t an active admin, as I recognize some of the places that I had flagged before…
Depending on what the goal is for the site, it might be a good idea to plug that gap. My current list of craft breweries for Greater China (including Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan) is 425 and it’s ramping up. I’m trying to keep up.
FWIW. Tibet is listed as a separate entry due to the grandfather clause. It is the only country listed under this rule. Changes to the country list should normally be agreed between me, Oakes and joet.
Unfortunately, very few craft breweries in China are large enough to export. Master Gao has been a pioneer in a number of ways. Great that they’re available in the U.S. If you ever get a chance to visit their brewpub in Nanjing, see if you can get their Jiahu ancient ale. Dogfish Head first came out with a version, called Chateau Jiahu. This year’s Master Gao vintage was just 200 bottles. I doubt any will make it outside of China.
