WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Do not pretend you care about the people; you are merely weaponizing their desperation for your own agenda.”

Claiming to act 'for the people' (为民) is the supreme moral high ground in traditional Chinese governance; unmasking someone as exploiting the people is the ultimate moral condemnation.
