入侵 (rù qīn) — to invade, to intrude (into a territory, system, or environment)
Definition
入侵 (rùqīn) means 'to invade or intrude' broadly — military territory, computer systems, or an ecosystem. Unlike 侵略 (armed invasion of a country) and 侵占 (invade and occupy/hold), it focuses on the act of entering, not the occupation.
