The term "Manchuria" is deprecated among people of the [[China|People's Republic of China]] (PRC) due to its association with [[Japanese colonial empire|Japanese imperialism]], the puppet state of Manchukuo of the [[Empire of Japan]], and [[Manchurian nationalism]]. Official state documents use the term Northeast Region (东北; Dōngběi) to describe the region. Northeast China is predominantly occupied by [[Han Chinese]] due to internal Chinese migrations<ref name=":0" /> and [[Sinicization of the Manchus]], especially during the [[Qing dynasty]]. It is considered the original homeland of several historical groups besides the Manchus, including the [[Yemaek]]<ref>*{{Cite book|title=The Ancient State of Puyŏ in Northeast Asia: Archaeology and Historical Memory|last=Byington|first=Mark E.|publisher=Harvard University Asia Center|year=2016|isbn=978-0-674-73719-8|location=Cambridge (Massachusetts) and London|pages=11, 13}}

In present-day Chinese, an inhabitant of the Northeast is a "Northeasterner" ({{zh|s=东北人|p=Dōngběirén|labels=no}}). "The Northeast" is a term that expresses the entire region, encompassing its history and various cultures. It is usually restricted to the "Three East Provinces" or "Three Northeast Provinces", excluding northeastern Inner Mongolia. In China, the term Manchuria ({{zh|s=满洲|t=滿洲|p=Mǎnzhōu|first=t}}) is rarely used today, and the term is often negatively associated with the Japanese imperial legacy and the puppet state of [[Manchukuo]].<ref>*{{Cite book|title=Memory Maps: The State and Manchuria in Postwar Japan|last=Tamanoi|first=Mariko|publisher=[[University of Hawaii Press]]|year=2009|page=10}}
