Tips

culture
陆配 is Taiwan-specific shorthand for 大陆配偶 (dàlù pèi'ǒu — 'mainland spouse'). It sits alongside (wàipèi — foreign spouse, mostly Vietnamese/Indonesian) in Taiwan's immigration vocabulary, and is a regular politicized term in election cycles.
register
Almost exclusively used in Taiwanese media, government documents, and political discussion. Mainland speakers would say 大陆配偶 or 大陆配偶 in full.
