Definition
据悉 (jù xī) is a formal, written expression used in news and official reports to mean 'according to reports' or 'it is reported that'. It implies a reliable source, unlike 据说 (jù shuō) which is more neutral and common in everyday speech, and unlike 传闻 (chuán wén) which often suggests unverified rumor or hearsay.
