Tips

usage

Stronger than 欺负 (qīfu, to bully) — 欺压 implies systemic, sustained oppression by someone with power, not just schoolyard teasing. Frequently used about landlords, officials, or bullying employers in older texts. Compare with 压迫 (yāpò, oppression — political/structural) and 欺凌 (qīlíng, harassment / hazing).
