How it's used
Academic and political discourse in Hong Kong often treats this as a fixed philosophical term borrowed from formal Chinese. It is rarely used in casual daily conversation unless the speaker is specifically discussing Marxist theory or academic philosophy. Because it is a highly specialized compound, it retains a formal, intellectual tone even when spoken aloud.
