Tips

usage

Common in official/government language — environmental enforcement (环保督查), discipline inspection (纪律督查), construction-quality oversight. Compare with 督察 (dūchá, same pronunciation, slightly more general 'oversee/police inspector') and 监督 (jiāndū, broader 'supervise'). The two characters in 督查 emphasise the inspection action specifically.
