Definition
重组 (chóng zǔ) means 'to reorganize, restructure, or recombine' — it focuses on rearranging existing parts into a new structure, often used for companies, departments, or genes. Unlike 组建 (zǔ jiàn), which means 'to set up or establish' something new, 重组 implies changing an existing entity. It differs from 整顿 (zhěng dùn), which means 'to rectify or consolidate' by correcting problems or improving discipline.
