Definition
领军 (lǐng jūn) originally means 'to lead troops' but is now widely used figuratively to mean 'to lead, to be at the forefront' in a field such as technology or research. It emphasizes being a pioneer or the leading force, more metaphorical than 率领 (shuài lǐng) 'to lead a group' and distinct from 领先 (lǐng xiān) 'to be ahead in a competition'.
