Different wording The two terms share 全 in their simplified forms but are different words. In Taiwan the standard term is 全域性; on the Mainland it is 全局 - both point at “overall situation”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 全域性、全局 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
全局 is HSK 7-9 vocabulary on the HSK 3.0 list.
