Definition
瞄准 (miáo zhǔn) means 'to take aim at' — literally with a weapon, or figuratively to target a market or audience. It differs from 针对 (zhēn duì), which means 'to target' in the sense of directing action or criticism at someone, and from 指向 (zhǐ xiàng), which is more about pointing or indicating a direction.
