Hi Gerv,

The ICANN board recently resolved to approve the following IDN ccTLDs:

.xn--fiqz9s (中國 - "China" Han-Traditional)
.xn--fiqs8s (中国 - "China" Han-Simplified)
.xn--j6w193g (香港 - "Hong Kong" Han Traditional and Simplified)
.xn--kpry57d (台灣 - "Taiwan" Han-Traditional)
.xn--kprw13d (台湾 - "Taiwan" Han-Simplified)

As far as I know, the policies for these TLDs are similar to CN, HK and TW (in spirit with JET Guidelines.)

CNNIC's implementation plan for the TLDs: http://www.cnnic.cn/html/Dir/2010/06/12/5852.htm
TWNIC's implementation plan for the TLDs: http://www.twnic.net/english/dn/dn_07a.htm

The most precise definition of rules for .HK that I can find is:

All three of the CNNIC, TWNIC and .HK documents say that are following RFC 3743 (the JET Guidelines). So that's OK.
