[R-sig-Geo] Chongqing Province is missing in latest China mapdata.

[Danlin Yu]

John:

Chongqing is a provincial  municipality, not a province. That said, I 
would actually suggest you to find a county map of China (which should 
be easily available), and manually identify the counties that now belong 
to Chongqing, and dissolve them into the municipality. The rest would be 
easy.

Hope this helps,

Best,
Danlin Yu
