I made a map of where teams are in China. There are 14 in the proximity of Hong Kong / Shenzhen. It is, however, about 1200 miles from Beijing where 2 teams are. So, my immediate reaction is hold it near Shenzhen and several teams will just have to fly (but they do that already to Hawaii or Sydney or elsewhere).

Our friends in China are shooting for a regional in 2017. FIRST will need to make a decision in the near future if they are willing to support a new regional in China. Things are moving in the right direction but nothing is solid yet. Venue location decision is more than just a geographic one. Sometimes location of major sponsors affect where a regional is held. There will be many more than 2 teams from the Beijing area, by the way.
