Definition
有赖于 is a formal verb phrase meaning 'to depend on' or 'to rely on.' It is typically used in written or formal spoken Chinese, with the subject being an abstract concept (success, solution, progress) and the object being a necessary condition or factor. Unlike the more common 依靠, 有赖于 carries a literary tone and appears more in official documents, essays, or speeches.
