How to use 政策
政策 is a formal noun used in news, politics and business. It often follows words that name the area, like 经济政策 (jīngjì zhèngcè, economic policy) or 教育政策 (jiàoyù zhèngcè, education policy). Example: 政府出台了新的政策。(Zhèngfǔ chūtái le xīn de zhèngcè.) The government introduced a new policy.
政 (zhèng) is the 政 of 政府 (zhèngfǔ), government, and 策 (cè) is the 策 of 策略 (cèlüè), strategy. Put them together and you get a government's plan of action: a policy.
Common mistake: Learners often use 政策 for a company or shop rule, such as a return policy. In that case Chinese usually says 规定 (guīdìng) or 退货政策 only in more formal writing. Also keep the tones straight: both syllables are fourth tone, zhèng cè, not zhēng.
