Talk:List of Chinese administrative divisions by illiteracy rate

Link to the source
Question, is there a link to the source of this, particularly I think the article should first define the measure of illiteracy used in the yearbook, and also personally I would like to know which language is used in the measure for the Autonomous Regions, for Tibet is Tibetan used or Chinese when measuring illiteracy there? Thanks in advance! --68.239.70.72 21:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Separate out Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau figures, as they are clearly not comparable
I have moved the figures for Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau into a separate table. They are from a different source (the CIA world fact book), for different years (2001-3 instead of 2010), and the numbers are so greatly different as to imply different methodologies. Therefore, to incorporate these figures into the mainland Chinese ranking is misleading. (It is completely implausible, even from a pure economic point of view, that there is more illiteracy in Hong Kong than in Hainan, for instance). 203.218.200.38 (talk) 17:26, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
