Based on its previous versions, this new dictionary (seventh edition) has removed hundreds of outdated entries, and at the same time included the new words and buzzwords that have caused heated discussion and spread widely in recent years, e.g., “a community of shared future for mankind”, “the four-pronged comprehensive strategy”, “toilet revolution”, “chain of contempt”, “high-quality development”, “sharing economy”, “P2P lending”, and “Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area”. Besides, this new dictionary has modified the appendices by deleting obsolete categories and including the vocabulary about social media, military, newspaper industry and the Winter Olympic Games, which is convenient for readers to upgrade their “word bank”.
