Delete. The short and outdated are not an issue, but there is no need for this to exist as a list. It is not even a single list but two, or two and a bit, of things that are not really comparable; cities in the People’s Republic are more regions than traditional cities. Hong Kong and Macau are not cities but contain them. As it is the list is OR and fails
WP:LISTN, as can be seen from the sources which do not discuss the list as a whole but the separate sub-lists.--
