How it's used
Refers specifically to political parties and figures in Hong Kong that generally align with the policies of the central government and the local administration. It is a standard term used in news and political discourse to distinguish this group from the pan-democratic camp. The term is neutral in a descriptive sense but carries strong political connotations depending on the speaker's own stance.
Examples
