Some relevant page view data by country from https://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportPageViewsPerCountryBreakdown.htm:
- China: 52% enwiki, 7.8% jpwiki, only 5.6% zhwiki
- Hong Kong: 68.4% zhwiki, 27.2% enwiki, 2.4% jpwiki
- Taiwan: 88.1% zhwiki, 8.9% enwiki
The interesting thing is that zhwiki usage within China seems to be rather low. Most usage seems to be from outside China, primarily Taiwan, but also Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Macau.
