+=head1 NAME
+
+Encode::CN - China-based Chinese Encodings
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use Encode::CN;
+    $euc_cn = encode("euc-cn", $utf8);
+    $utf8   = encode("euc-cn", $euc_cn);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module implements China-based Chinese charset encodings.
+Encodings supported are as follows.
+
+  euc-cn       EUC (Extended Unix Character)
+  gb2312       The raw (low-bit) GB2312 character map
+  gb12345      Traditional chinese counterpart to GB2312 (raw)
+  iso-ir-165   GB2312 + GB6345 + GB8565 + additions
+  cp936                Code Page 936, also known as GBK (Extended GuoBiao)
+  hz           7-bit escaped GB2312 encoding
+
+To find how to use this module in detail, see L<Encode>.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+Due to size concerns, C<GB 18030> (an extension to C<GBK>) is distributed
+separately on CPAN, under the name L<Encode::HanExtra>. That module
+also contains extra Taiwan-based encodings.
+
+This module will automatically load L<Encode::HanExtra> if you have it on
+your machine.
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+ASCII part (0x00-0x7f) is preserved for all encodings, even though it
+conflicts with mappings by the Unicode Consortium.  See
+
+F<http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/unicode-symbols.html.en>
+
+to find why it is implemented that way.
