Definition
谋划 (móu huà) means to plan or scheme, especially with strategic, long-term thinking and often with a negative connotation of plotting. It is more formal and literary than 策划 (cè huà), which is the everyday word for planning and organizing events or campaigns. While 策划 can be neutral, 谋划 often implies secrecy or ill intent.
