Definition
有目共睹 is a four-character idiom meaning 'obvious to all' or 'clear for everyone to see'. It's used to emphasize that a fact, achievement, or situation is so evident that anyone can perceive it. You often see it in formal or written contexts, such as news reports, speeches, or evaluations. The literal meaning ('have eyes, all see') matches the figurative sense closely, so it's not misleading, but the idiom carries a tone of objective observation.
f.e.
