WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“You think you can intimidate me with physical violence? Try me.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Moral Condemnation in Public Fights

Publicly accusing someone of 'hitting people' (打人) strips them of moral high ground, as Chinese social norms strictly condemn physical escalation.
