Read the sample sentence and notice how 所谓……就是…… guides the meaning: 所谓 A，就是 B.
所谓...就是... introduces a term, idea, or label with 所谓 and then explains it with 就是. It is useful for definitions, opinions, and concise explanations. Do not use it for a simple identity sentence where no explanation is needed; A should be a concept and B should clarify its meaning. Compared with A 是 B, this pattern sounds more explanatory and often carries the speaker’s interpretation.
