WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“You are far above us; it would be reckless and disrespectful for anyone to criticize you.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Avoiding Direct Feedback to Superiors

In hierarchical Chinese environments, subordinates rarely criticize leaders openly; feigning humility by saying 'no one dares offer feedback' saves the superior's face and shields the speaker.
