Unfortunately, the Communist Party’s tolerance of such civic activity blows hot and cold. The Party, alarmed by the “color revolutions” that toppled post-Soviet leaders in Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan, is cracking down on domestic non-government organizations for fear that they, too, might become catalysts for popular uprisings.
不幸的是，中共对此类民间活动的容忍反复无常。推翻格鲁吉亚、乌克兰以及吉尔吉斯坦后苏联领导人的“颜色革命”另中共大惊失色。中共害怕国内非政府组织也会成为大众起义的催化剂而予以打压。
