This is incredibly unfair, you are well aware
http://lists.debian.org/debian-chinese-gb/2004/03/msg00102.html
that this has been partly fixed in beta4, question now looks like
/-----------------------[Choose country]---------------------\
| Based on your language, you are probably in one of these |
| countries, territories or areas of particular geopolitical |
| interest. If you are elsewhere, choose "other". |
| |
| Choose your country, territory or area: |
| China |
| Hong Kong |
| Taiwan |
| other |

As I disagree with Christian, I created a test branch for countrychooser
svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/d-i/people/barbier/countrychooser
svn://svn.debian.org/d-i/people/barbier/countrychooser
to get rid of remaining "choose country" short forms and requested for
comments
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2004/05/msg00205.html
to see if this version was less controversial. I am still waiting for
comments.
