How it's used
This term carries a strong derogatory and dismissive tone, specifically targeting individuals who are ethnically Hong Kongers but hold staunchly pro-Beijing political views. It implies a sense of betrayal or ideological misalignment with the mainstream local identity. Use it with caution as it is highly politically charged and often used to provoke or insult.
Examples
He always says he is a local pro-CCP supporter, it is really hard to communicate with him.
Are those local pro-CCP supporters causing trouble again?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the term 左膠, which refers to local left-wing activists who are often criticized for being naive or overly idealistic; the two terms represent completely different ends of the political spectrum.
