Singapore is a city-state of five million people – roughly the population of the Haidian district of Beijing. Given China’s much greater size and complexity, the Chinese government’s pursuit of the Singaporean model, with its suppression of any and all social disorder, would ultimately undermine economic dynamism.
这一方针有待时间的检验。新加坡是一个城市国家，只有500万人口——大概和北京市海淀区相当。中国的规模和复杂性远甚于新加坡，因此中国政府追求新加坡模式以及对一切社会动荡采取高压手段最终会破坏经济活力。
