OK, I've created a brainstorming page on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikinews/China_2
to design a poll or set of polls to deal with the issue. I think all votes should take place on Meta rather than Wikipedia, since there already is Chinese Wikiquote, Chinese Wikisource, Chinese Wiktionary, Chinese Wikicommons, Chinese Wikispecies, and Chinese Wikibooks, and it wouldn't be fair to potentially exclude people who are members of any of these communities, but not of the Chinese Wikipedia.
