How it's used

This idiom is almost exclusively used in a negative or critical context to describe people who are colluding or acting in lockstep to achieve a selfish or dishonest goal. It implies a lack of independent thought or a suspicious alliance between parties. It is rarely used to describe positive or neutral agreement, where terms like 意見一致 would be preferred.

Common mistake

Do not use this to describe simple agreement between friends or colleagues in a professional or positive setting, as it carries a strong connotation of conspiracy or bias.
