What's a chop?

Chop is another word for the stamp.
Seals used as signatures by pretty much everybody: individuals, companies, government institutions, etc.

Something I find weird is that modern seals are mass-produced. There is no identification value, because anyone can trivially buy a seal that will make the exact impression of your seal.
(For personal seals. I don't know what company seals involve.)
