zh_tw is not in the list, but there is:

- zh for language "Chinese"
%%
Type: language
Subtag: zh
Description: Chinese
Added: 2005-10-16
Scope: macrolanguage
%%

- TW (in capital letters) for the region "Taiwan"
%%
Type: region
Subtag: TW
Description: Taiwan, Province of China
Added: 2005-10-16
%%

There are compound subtags which use both zh and TW :
%%
Type: redundant
Tag: zh-Hans-TW
Description: Taiwan Chinese in simplified script
Added: 2005-04-11
%%

%%
Type: redundant
Tag: zh-Hant-TW
Description: Taiwan Chinese in traditional script
Added: 2005-04-11
%%

>From what I understood, Traditional Chinese is used in Taiwan, so it
could be zh-Hant-TW,
though if the users from Taiwan are used to the zh_TW subtag, the
latter would be more convenient.
