context_page_description: Mainland Chinese or Mainlanders are Chinese people who live in the continental region of East Asia. The term "mainland China" is contemporarily used to refer to regions directly administered by the People's Republic of China, as opposed to special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau, the island of Taiwan, and other ethnic Chinese-majority areas of the Chinese diaspora. The term is also often used by the Hokkien-speaking Taiwanese people to distinguish themselves from residents who were born in mainland China, if not directly calling the Mainlanders and themselves as "Chinese" and "Taiwanese" respectively.
  Due to the rapid economic growth of China, Mainland Chinese constitute an increasingly bigger part of global tourism.
context_section_description: The word mainlander can refer to two different groups:
  1949 immigrants or Waishengren (Chinese: 外省人; pinyin: wàishěngrén; lit.: 'extraprovincial person') are people who immigrated to Taiwan from mainland China after the Japanese surrender in 1945 during the late 1940s and early 1950s, especially after Kuomintang lost the Chinese Civil War in 1949.  This group even includes all of their descendants born locally in Taiwan.
  Daluren (大陸人; dàlùrén; 'continental people') are residents of mainland China, especially citizens of the People's Republic of China (PRC) who live in mainland China.
  In the context of demographics of Taiwan, the term mainlander when applied to a Taiwan resident most likely refers to daluren.
