The Malaya (later Malaysia) team could include Singaporean players until 1969. From 1970 onwards teams were permitted to field several non-Chinese players.
Up until the early 70s the Hong Kong team was the "Combined Chinese" team, i.e. any Chinese player based in Hong Kong was eligible to play for the team, regardless of his affiliation to either the HKFA or the Republic of China (Taiwan) association.
NB: not held in missing years; the 1928 edition was the first.
