WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Back off, we are not family, so stop acting like we are close.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Guanxi and Fictive Kinship (Pan Qinqi)

In Chinese culture, people often address non-relatives as 'uncle' or 'sister' to rapidly build rapport (tao jinohu); rejecting this explicitly is a strong pushback against manipulative social closeness.
