指向 (zhǐ xiàng) — to point towards, to aim at; the direction indicated, orientation
Definition
指向 covers both a literal gesture ('point toward') and a figurative aim ('be oriented toward'). Contrast with 针对, which targets a specific audience or issue, and 导向, which emphasizes a guiding direction rather than a simple orientation.
