How it's used
This term refers specifically to the administrative body of a province in mainland China. It is rarely used in daily Hong Kong life as the city operates under a different political structure, so it mostly appears in news reports or discussions about mainland affairs. When referring to local Hong Kong government departments, people use terms like 政府部門 instead.
