Current def is a confusing and misleading mess.

In China’s administrative system, 地区 specifically refers to a prefecture-level division:
阿里地区 Ngari Prefecture
喀什地区 Kashgar Prefecture.

Using "district" for 地区 could confuse it with 区, a different administrative level.

In Chinese administrative terms:
省 Province
自治区 Autonomous Region
地区 Prefecture
自治州 Autonomous Prefecture
县 County
区 District
Diff:
- 地區 地区 [di4 qu1] /local/regional/district (not necessarily formal administrative unit)/region/area/as suffix to city name, means prefecture or county (area administered by a prefecture-level city or, county-level city)/CL:個|个[ge4]/
+ 地區 地区 [[di4qu1]] /region; area (informal or geographical term)/prefecture (in China's administrative system)/
