Definition
两边倒
Literally means:
waver between two sides
Actually means:
sit on the fence
It means sitting on the fence without firm stand points and opinions, usually used to describe people who are chicken-hearted and sensitive to trouble without adherence to principles. They always lean to whichever side that gets the upper hand. Derogatory.
形容摇摆不定,没有坚定的立场和主张。多指胆小怕事,不坚持原则,哪边势力强就转向那边。具有贬义色彩。
