Definition
补贴 (bǔtiē) refers to a financial subsidy or allowance provided by an organization (e.g., government, employer) to support a specific purpose, such as housing or agriculture. It is more concrete and institutional than 补助 (bǔzhù), which is a broader term for financial aid, and unlike 资助 (zīzhù), which emphasizes sponsoring individuals, 补贴 is often policy-based and can be used as both a verb and a noun.
