Definition
体制 (tǐzhì) refers to the institutional framework or organizational structure of a system (e.g., political, economic, medical). It overlaps with 制度 (zhìdù, 'system of rules/laws') but focuses on the structural setup of institutions, not the rules themselves. 体系 (tǐxì) is broader, meaning an entire interconnected system (e.g., a theoretical system), while 机构 (jīgòu) is a concrete organization or agency.
