Can place names be registered as trademarks in China?

According to Article 10 of the Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China:
“Place names of administrative divisions at or above the county level or widely known foreign place names may not be registered as trademarks. However, exceptions apply if such place names have other meanings or constitute part of a collective mark or certification mark. Trademarks containing place names that have already been registered shall continue to be valid.”
