完善体制机制

You usually use this as a big, impressive verb phrase. It often follows verbs like 需要 (need) or 应当 (should). You can use it when talking about a messy office filing system. You can also use it when your group of friends can't decide where to eat. It sounds very professional, but you can use it jokingly too. If your roommate never washes dishes, tell them you need to 完善体制机制 for the kitchen.

This is your go-to phrase for any 'big picture' problem solving. Use it in business meetings to sound like a visionary leader. Use it in academic papers to discuss social improvements. It is perfect for when you want to sound serious and organized. If a process is broken, this phrase promises a solution. It shows you aren't just fixing a tiny leak, but the whole plumbing system.

Don't use this for simple, one-off physical tasks. You wouldn't 完善体制机制 to tie your shoelaces. Avoid it in deeply intimate or romantic moments. Telling your partner you need to 完善体制机制 for your dating life might result in a very lonely dinner. It's too 'corporate' for a heartfelt apology. Keep it away from situations that require raw emotion rather than logic.

This phrase is a staple of Chinese administrative and political language. You will see it in every major news broadcast or government report. It reflects a cultural value placed on structural harmony and systematic order. In China, solving a problem often starts with looking at the 'system' rather than just the individual. It’s about creating a sustainable environment where everyone knows their role.

You might hear 健全机制 (strengthen mechanisms) which is a bit shorter. Another one is 优化体系 (optimize the system). If you want to sound even more intense, use 深化改革，完善体制 (deepen reform, improve the system). People also use 建立健全 (establish and strengthen) alongside it. It’s like a Lego set of professional-sounding words you can swap around.
