WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“You cannot betray someone you never aligned with or trusted.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Conditional Allegiance and Trust (Xin)

In Chinese moral codes, betrayal (背叛) is a severe transgression, so redefining the relationship as having 'lacked initial trust' serves to nullify the moral charge of treason.
