习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的翻译是“Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in all Respects for a new era”,这里的“方面”为什么不能用“aspects”?

aspect: particular part or feature of something being considered

respect: particular aspect or detail

“respect” is more specific than “aspect”, for example:

In this respect, we are very fortunate.

We love the valley in all its aspects.

In the above term, "all respects" is more conclusive than "all aspects." Besides, "respect" can be used as both a noun and a verb to describe someone who has the greatest esteem for something or somebody.
