Definition
自主权 refers to the right or power to make one's own decisions independently. It is commonly used in legal, political, and organizational contexts — for example, a country's sovereignty (国家自主权), a company's autonomy in operations (经营自主权), or an individual's right to self-determination. The word is a compound of 自主 ('self-determination') and 权 ('right/power').
