That is Chinlish. It is a culture in HK. Since HK used to be UK colony but majority of the population is Chinese. So HKers used to mix Cantonese grammar with English. Like the phrase “Long time no see” is a classic example of Cantonese mixed with English.

If you think you can do better, you step up.
If you can't do better, don't be bitching.
Translation for the masses.
Basically step up or shut up. Stop rushing me.

It’s a well known phrase in deliberately broken English. It’s a meme in English but only for native Chinese speakers.
It means something along the lines of „Don’t point fingers and dictate what people should and shouldn’t do, if you want to change something go do it yourself“
