As of the end of 2016，there is a total of 40000 Hong Kong，Macao and Taiwan students studying in Mainland China，covering 25 provincial administrative areas （provinces，autonomous regions and municipalities） and 270 higher education and research institutes. Cultivating students from Hong Kong，Macao and Taiwan is an important and unique part of the talent cultivation function of higher educational institutions in Mainland China. In early 2017，the Ministry of Education and other five Ministries jointly issued “Regulations on the Recruitment and Training of Students from Hong Kong Special Administrative Region，Macao Special Administrative Region and Taiwan Region for Higher Educational Institutions”，regulating Mainland China’s higher educational institutions not only on their recruitment and teaching of students from Hong Kong，Macao and Taiwan，but also on students’ life management and service provision. In recent years，the study of Mainland students studying in Hong Kong，Macao and Taiwan has been deepening，but systematic researches on the overall situation，the development process and policy advancements of Hong Kong，Macao and Taiwan students studying in Mainland China are still deficient. This report conducts a systematic study on Hong Kong，Macao and Taiwan students studying in Mainland China，including their development situation，the characteristics of policy changes and some other aspects. Pointing out the problems faced by these students，it puts forward several policy recommendations on how to promote students from Hong Kong，Macao and Taiwan to study in Mainland China.
