I'm not voting because I haven't seen many Korean and Japanese men and haven't been to either country to see their average person. But...

...I'd like to know why you say this. Why can't you merge Chinese people together? We're not talking governments; we're talking genetics and to a good extent, geography. Politics aside, I don't see anything radically wrong with looking at men from these three areas together. I can almost dare to say that the "looks" of HK and Taiwan can all be found somewhere in the Mainland, and vice versa.
Facial features? People from Taiwan may not have any certain "look" because many of them hail from different regions, including the Mainland, but then again, the "average" Mainlander doesn't have any particular "look" either. I find that folks from HK look similar to those from Guangdong Province in the Mainland; I've been to both places. People from the South generally have higher, more defined cheekbones, while people from the North have flatter, wider faces.
Skin tone? This varies too, but in general, Northern Chinese are paler, Southern Chinese are tanner.
Build? Most people in China (all three areas) have average build, not too fat or too skinny, though not very buff overall. I've never seen many football-player builds walking down the street. People of the South seem to be much more petite and slender than the more big-boned Northerners.
Height? Don't think Chinese people as a whole are short. They are not, especially if they're from the Northern Mainland provinces. There's a common saying of "Big guys from Shandong" (a Northern province) that reflects this. Native people from the South tend to be shorter; this includes the Southern Mainland provinces, Taiwan and HK. This difference in heights can be seen from the choice of weapons used in ancient times; the Northern people used longer, heavier weapons, while the Southern people used lighter, shorter ones that fit their physique.
And if you're talking about the newer generation of guys with good nutrition, Chinese guys definitely aren't all short! Most of the Chinese actors from the Mainland and Taiwan that I find hot can all give Korean and Japanese guys a run for their money in the height department.
Don't get me wrong; what I've posted are just general observations I've made about Chinese people overall, not counting all the movement of peoples over the centuries. I personally don't care where hot guys are from, just as long as they're hot!
