政权 (zhèng quán): regime; political power

The Xinhai Revolution overthrew the feudal regime of the Qing Dynasty, ending more than two thousand years of autocratic monarchy in China.

After years of civil war, this newly established regime finally gained widespread recognition from the international community.

Frequent changes of regime in the region led to a lack of continuity in economic policy, greatly affecting people's lives.

Historians believe that if a regime loses the support of the people, it will be very difficult for it to last long.

During the war, this regime imposed strict press controls, prohibiting any dissenting voices from emerging.
