Mainland China

Mainland China, or Zhongguo Dalu (????; or ????), literally meaning "The
Chinese Massive Landmass" or "Continental China," is an informal
geographical term which is usually synonymous with the area currently
administered by the People's Republic of China (PRC) which excludes the area
controlled by the Republic of China (namely Taiwan, Quemoy, Matsu). It also
usually excludes the two special administrative regions administered by the
People's Republic of China: Hong Kong and Macau. In contrast to the term
China proper, the term usually also includes Tibet, Xinjiang, and Inner Mongolia.

Curiously, the term usually includes offshore islands administered by the
PRC such as Hainan. The term Zhongguo dalu is commonly used on Taiwan
because it is a neutral term and does not contain implications about the
political status of Taiwan.

More recently, the term Zhongguo neidi (literally the inner regions of
China) has become the most common term within Mainland China to refer to
Mainland China, although the term is infrequently used outside of Mainland
China.

In Taiwan, the term Mainlander can refer to wai sheng ren (???, literal
meaning: "external province person(s)"), who are the people who emigrated to
Taiwan from Mainland China near end of the Chinese Civil War. Or the term
can refer to da lu ren (???, literal meaning: "Mainland person(s)"), meaning
the people who live on the Mainland now.

Relations between Mainland China and Taiwan are typically known in Chinese
as liang'an guanxi (????), which literally means "relations between the two
sides/seashores (of the Strait of Taiwan)". The term liang'an (two sides) is
often used when describing Mainland China and Taiwan collectively. Again
these terms are commonly found because they are politically-neutral and do
not contain implications about the nature of the relationship between
Mainland China and Taiwan.
