mainland Chinese
Not Hong Kong
Mainland Chinese refers to people from or things associated with the People's Republic of China, excluding Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.
The term distinguishes the continental territory from these regions, which have separate political or administrative status: mainland Chinese tourists, mainland Chinese companies.
In some contexts, the distinction carries political weight given disputed sovereignty claims.
