How it's used
People often use the term to refer to the country itself or to describe someone of Pakistani descent. When discussing the local community in Hong Kong, it is common to hear people refer to them simply as 巴基斯坦人 or sometimes colloquially as 巴基人. It is important to note that this is a neutral geographical and ethnic descriptor rather than a slang term.
