How it is used
- Literally to focus (a lens); mostly figurative 'to zero in on' - 聚焦民生问题 (jùjiāo mínshēng wèntí) to focus attention on livelihood issues.
- The figurative sense (directing attention/coverage to a topic) is very common in media and discussion.
- Formal-leaning register; note the concrete camera sense too.
