The other countries that speak Mandarin are mentioned in the article anyways, and I seriously doubt that articles will be made on "Mandarin in Singapore" etc. May I suggest a simplification of the title?

My parents have always talked of Mandarin as just "Mandarin" and we lived in Hong Kong for three years while I was a child. Why does the "Chinese" have to be thrown in the title? The other countries that speak Mandarin are mentioned in the article anyways, and I seriously doubt that articles will be made on "Mandarin in Singapore" etc. May I suggest a simplification of the title?
