罢免

罢免 means the act of removing someone from a position or office, typically due to misconduct, failure, or political reasons. It is often used in formal or official contexts, such as in government or organizational settings.

The character 罢 (bà) originally meant to stop or cease, and 免 (miǎn) means to avoid or remove. Together, they convey the idea of ending someone's position or authority, rather than simply punishing them.

罢免 is commonly seen in news reports about political figures or officials being removed from their roles. It is also used in legal and administrative contexts, emphasizing the formal nature of the action. In China, this term is often associated with party or government disciplinary actions.
