Definition
他国 is a formal, written-style noun meaning 'another country' or 'other countries'. It's commonly used in news, legal documents, and academic writing to refer to foreign nations collectively or a specific foreign country. Unlike 外国 (wàiguó), which is neutral and conversational, 他国 carries a slightly more detached or official tone, often contrasting with 本国 (běn guó, 'one's own country'). You'll see it in phrases like 他国公民 ('citizens of other countries') or 侵犯他国主权 ('violating another country's sovereignty').
