Definition
缺点 (quē diǎn) refers to an inherent shortcoming or flaw in a person's character or a product's design. It differs from 坏处 (huài chù), which focuses on the negative consequences or downsides of a situation or action. 短处 (duǎn chù) is similar but often emphasizes personal weaknesses in ability or skill.
