💡 Cultural Insight: Official stamping (gai zhang)

In Chinese institutional and workplace culture, an official seal represents the formal endorsement and legal responsibility of an organization. Even when the underlying facts are undisputed, parties may refuse to affix their seal due to liability avoidance, conflicts of interest, or interpersonal considerations.
