Missing EC2 region: ap-east-1 (Hong Kong)

[earlruby]

boto is not reporting the region ap-east-1 in the list of available regions.

I can access the region from my AWS EC2 dashboard and create VMs there, but boto doesn't see that the region is available:

>>> import boto.ec2
>>> boto.ec2.regions()
[RegionInfo:us-west-1, RegionInfo:us-east-1, RegionInfo:ap-northeast-1, RegionInfo:ap-southeast-2, RegionInfo:sa-east-1, RegionInfo:ap-northeast-2, RegionInfo:us-east-2, RegionInfo:ap-southeast-1, RegionInfo:ca-central-1, RegionInfo:cn-north-1, RegionInfo:us-west-2, RegionInfo:us-gov-west-1, RegionInfo:ap-south-1, RegionInfo:eu-central-1, RegionInfo:eu-west-1, RegionInfo:eu-west-2]

$ python --version
Python 2.7.15rc1
$ pip list | grep boto            
boto (2.49.0)
boto3 (1.9.159)
botocore (1.12.159)
