Expecting mainland Chinese to use the formal name of the PRC to self-identify is needlessly clunky and formal. The reason why many Chinese, regardless of nationality, use the phrase “mainland Chinese” or “mainland China” in English is because it’s the direct translation of 中国大陆, the phrase used to identify the mainland. It doesn’t indicate political affiliation in any way. |
