Definition
基地 (jī dì) refers to a physical location used as a base for military, research, or industrial operations. It differs from 基础 (jī chǔ), which means an abstract foundation or basis (e.g., economic foundation, knowledge base), and from 座 (zuò), which is a base or stand for objects (e.g., a statue's base).
