How it's used
This term is primarily used in formal or governmental contexts to refer to specific administrative bodies. In Hong Kong, government departments are usually referred to as 署 or 局, so this term is more commonly encountered when discussing mainland Chinese or foreign government structures rather than local Hong Kong institutions.
