About

The Chinese term "国税局" (Guóshuìjú) is a compound word formed through semantic combination, where each character contributes to the overall meaning: "国" (guó) means "national" or "state," "税" (shuì) means "tax," and "局" (jú) means "bureau" or "administration." When combined in this standard modifier-noun order, it logically constructs the concept of a "State Tax Administration," specifically referring to the national-level tax authority, as opposed to local tax bureaus.
