The Chinese word 审查 (shěnchá) is composed of two characters: 审 (shěn) and 查 (chá). The character 审 originally meant "to interrogate" or "to investigate," and it is often used in legal contexts. The character 查 originally meant "to look into" or "to examine," and it is often used in the context of inspections or audits. When combined, the two characters 审查 (shěnchá) take on the meaning of "to investigate" or "to examine," and they are often used in the context of official inquiries or investigations. For example, the phrase 审查制度 (shěnchá zhìdù) refers to a system of censorship or review, and the phrase 审查报告 (shěnchá bàogào) refers to an investigation report.
