WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Stop making excuses; you need to take full responsibility.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Excuse-making and accountability culture

In workplace or formal settings, Chinese communication values end results and taking initiative. Directly accusing someone of 'kai tuo' (shirking responsibility/absolving oneself) serves as a stern warning to stop evading blame.
