The answer is simple and obvious, not all Chinese speaking people live in China. I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and some 11% of the population (over 280,000 people) is of Chinese decent, and relevant for the likes of a Wikipedia entry, manages to support three daily Chinese language newspapers... So, for the benefit of oversees Chinese a Wikipedia entry would be a good thing (the more mappers the better in my books).
