WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“You just force everyone to compromise regardless of who is actually right.”
💡 Cultural Insight: He Wei Gui (Harmony as Virtue) in Mediation

Traditional Chinese conflict resolution prioritizes compromise and balance ('each stepping back') over absolute zero-sum legal victory, which can sometimes be criticized as sacrificing objective truth for social peace.
