Tips

culture
An official PRC abbreviation bundling 香港 (Hong Kong), 澳门 (Macao) and 台湾 (Taiwan) — typically used for policy, visas, sports delegations, and admissions quotas (港澳台联考 is a special university entrance exam for these students).
usage
Apostrophe is written (Gǎng'àotái) because ào starts with a vowel — without it the pinyin could be misread. The term is politically loaded: it groups all three as 'non-mainland Chinese' regions, reflecting the PRC framing.
