Definition
查处 (chá chǔ) means 'investigate and handle' — it covers both finding the facts and taking action (e.g., penalties or corrective measures). Unlike 查明 (focuses on ascertaining facts), 侦查 (formal criminal investigation), 检察 (official inspection/prosecution), or 查获 (tracking down and seizing), 查处 emphasizes the full investigation-to-resolution process.
verb
to investigate and handle (a case or violation, especially in legal or administrative contexts)
