Definition
出台 (chū tái) has two main senses: (1) to officially launch a policy or regulation, and (2) to appear on stage or in public. For the stage sense, it differs from 上台 (shàng tái), which means 'to go on stage' as a performer or 'to come to power' politically — 出台 is more about making a public appearance, not taking office.
