How it's used
This term is primarily used in political, economic, or journalistic contexts to discuss cross-strait affairs. It serves as a neutral way to refer to the relationship between the mainland and Taiwan without explicitly stating political status. It is rarely used in casual, everyday conversation unless the topic specifically turns to regional news or politics.
Examples
The relationship between the two sides of the strait is very complex.
