This is not to say that the economic concept of politics is utterly strange to the Chinese – or, for that matter, that the religious notion of politics is unknown in the democratic West. But the insistence on orthodoxy is still sufficiently strong in China to remain the default defense against political critics.
这并非意味着经济式政治观念对于中国人来说，是一种完全陌生的模式；就此而言，这也不是指奉行民主制度的西方就不知宗教式政治观念为何物。然而在中国，人们对于正统观念的坚持，依旧强大到使其足可继续作为对政治批评者的默认防范方式之地步。
