shèn zhì hái fàng kuān
ZH

The policy even further relaxed the application requirements.
Etymology
This phrase is made of 甚至, meaning “even” or “to the extent that,” 还, meaning “still/also/even more,” and 放宽, meaning “to loosen” or “to relax.” 放宽 literally means “to make wider,” later extending to rules, limits, or conditions.
Memory Aid
Think of 放宽 as “making something wider”; 甚至还 adds the feeling of “not only that, but even more,” so the whole phrase suggests restrictions becoming even wider or looser.
