Definition
认同 (rèntóng) means to identify with or approve of something, emphasizing internal alignment with values, identity, or opinions. It differs from 赞同 (zàntóng), which is 'agree with an opinion or proposal', and 认可 (rènkě), which means 'recognize as acceptable or valid' without necessarily implying personal identification.
