Definition
统制 refers to 'centralized control' or 'command', especially in the context of a planned economy (统制经济) or military command. As a verb, it means to exercise unified control over resources, industries, or personnel. As a noun, it describes the system or act of such control. The English gloss 'trad. division' is misleading — it likely comes from a mistranslation of 'traditional division' and is not a standard sense of 统制 in modern Chinese.
