WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“I haven't even signed off on it with the official seal yet, there's no way he could publish it.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Affixing an official seal (gai zhang)

In Chinese administrative and workplace systems, the official seal is the core credential determining whether an official document, report, or contract is legally effective. Holding absolute authority, the absence of a seal typically signifies that formal approval is incomplete and the document cannot be made public.
