(§Zh6)The Chinese community in Mainland China expressed their concern about the relationship between the Wikimedia Foundation and the China government, as it is a bit intense right now and it is not beneficial to the development of the community. Some member suggested that the Foundation should work on their relationship with the government(§Zh1) (§Zh3), so that they can have the outreach program in the future. At the same time, they think it will be nice if the Foundation can work on the offline Wikipedia as well, which means that the Foundation can develop some devices that the people can access the articles on Wikipedia without the internet. The community in Taiwan wants to have more outreach programs. (§Zh6) As people in Taiwan are not really familiar with Wikipedia and the sister projects, such as Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons, the Wikimedia Taiwan believes that we can promote the projects to the public, in order to attract more newcomers. (§Zh12) (§Zh14) (§Zh3)Also, cooperating with the education institutes in Taiwan will be a main part of the strategic plan as well. For the community in Hong Kong and Macau, the Wikipedians in the region is planning to form the user group, as the start of the strategic planning.
