看待 (kàn dài) — to regard; to look upon; to view (in a certain way)
Definition
看待 means to regard or view something in a certain way — focus is on one's mental attitude, not physical looking (unlike 观看). Closer in meaning to 看作 and 视为, but implies a broader, more considered perspective rather than a quick judgment.
