Definition
双轨 literally means 'double track' (two parallel rails for trains), but its more common modern sense is the 'dual-track system'—applying two sets of rules, prices, or policies side by side, especially in economic reforms (双轨制) where a planned economy and market economy coexisted. As a noun, you'll often hear it in compound terms like 双轨制 or 双轨策略.
