Calling all Chinese speaking Dopers!
What is/are the Chinese characters for “censorship”, as in political censorship? I could look it up in an online dictionary but I want to make sure I get the right meaning. Big images of the characters are important.
檢查制度 (Traditional)
检查制度 (Simplified)
The first two characters mean “censor”, but be careful, as they also mean, more generally “inspect”. It’s the word you would use to talk about a medical check-up: 健康檢查, literally “health inspection”.
The last two characters mean “system”.
检查法 jian3cha2fa3 could also be used. Same root word.
Jovan’s is the most common word used.
