obstruent
In a sequence of two voiceless obstruents, the second obstruent remains a plosive.

Voiceless plosives become fricatives, unless preceded by another obstruent.

Note that voiced plosives had already been devoiced before a voiceless obstruent prior to this stage.

Final obstruent devoicing can lead to the neutralization of phonemic contrasts in certain environments.

In other words, when an obstruent is preaspirated, the glottis is opened for some time before the obstruent closure.

There is no labio-velarized coronal obstruent.

It depends on whether the initial consonant is a sonorant or obstruent, as in yang-tone splits in other Chinese dialects.
From the en.wikipedia.org

- A consonant that is produced with a partial or complete blockage of the airflow from the lungs through the nose or mouth
- An obstruent is a consonant sound formed by obstructing airflow, causing increased air pressure in the vocal tract. In phonetics, articulation may be divided into two large classes: obstruents and sonorants.
- A consonant sound formed by obstructing the airway, causing turbulence; the generic term of plosive, fricative and affricate
- Consonants can be classified as obstruent or sonorant. A maximal degree of obstruction to the exhaled air is associated with obstruents. They may be either voiced or voiceless.
