Definition
加紧 (jiā jǐn) means 'to step up' or 'to intensify' — it focuses on increasing the pace or intensity of ongoing work, effort, or activity (e.g., 加紧生产, 加紧训练). It differs from 加快/加速, which emphasize making something faster in terms of speed or rate, and from 强化, which means to strengthen or reinforce rather than speed up.
