Definition
主张 (zhǔzhāng) is both a verb ('to advocate, to maintain') and a noun ('view, position'). As a verb, it is more formal and opinion-driven than 提倡 (tíchàng), which focuses on promoting a practice or behavior. As a noun, it is a personal or stated position, distinct from 观点 (guāndiǎn, a general viewpoint) and 立场 (lìchǎng, a principled stance, often in politics).
