Definition
重创 (zhòng chuāng) means 'to inflict heavy losses / seriously damage' and focuses on the severe harm done to an entity like a country, economy, or company. Unlike 摧残 (cuī cān), which targets abstract or personal things (spirit, health) and suggests gradual ruin, 重创 is about a single, powerful blow causing major damage.
