Taishang (Chinese: 臺商; pinyin: Tái Shāng) are Taiwanese businesspeople operating in mainland China.[1] The tai part of the term stands for Taiwan, and the shang part stands for business or businessperson. There are no official statistics on the number of Taishang working in mainland China. Unofficial estimates circulating in 2011 suggested that between 1 million and 3 million Taiwanese nationals (including family members) lived in mainland China.[2]
