We use this term all the time to differentiate and exclude Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau, but is this something the Chinese media don't really touch at all?
I was curious to know what term they use exactly...
I thought everybody uses Mainland China. I'm sure the media uses it to differentiate between Hong Kong and Macau. Taiwan not so much...Whenever I've spoken to someone about this they've always used mainland. We call them mainlanders...
They usually say 港澳台 which is Hongkong Macau and Taiwan condensed into one word, if its not mainland. Im trying to think whether I actually heard the word mainland used. There is a word for it but I dont know if the mainlanders use it. I remember my gf said something about it but I think she said its mainly those not from the mainland that use the term mainland.
