Definition
权益 (quán yì) refers to 'rights and interests' as a combined concept — it covers both the legal/moral entitlements (the 权利 side) and the practical benefits or interests that come with them. It's broader than 权利 (HSK5 'right'), which focuses purely on the entitlement itself. 权益 often appears in collocations about protection (保护权益, 维护权益).
