💡 Cultural Insight: leaving leeway and self-effacing disclaimers

In Chinese workplace communication, subordinates or peers often use modest phrases like 'jin gong can kao' (for reference only) or 'just offering a few suggestions' after sharing opinions. This shows humility while avoiding primary responsibility if the proposal turns out unworkable.
