Definition
关切 (guān qiè) means 'to be deeply concerned about' and is used in formal, often serious contexts (e.g., government, public health). It implies a sincere, respectful concern, stronger than 在意 (zài yì 'to mind') and less anxious than 担忧 (dān yōu 'to worry'). Unlike 关怀 (guān huái), which conveys warm, personal care, 关切 focuses on the gravity of the issue itself.
