Chaos provides a cover for crackdowns. It is too convenient when unidentified strongmen beat and harass activists who question Party rule, and it is too easy for officials to blame an out-of-control “criminal society” when international media start asking questions.
我相信，各省政府失去控制是幕后安排好的。混乱可以为打压提供借口。身份不明的强人殴打和骚扰质疑中共统治的活动人士再方便不过，而当国际媒体开始提问时，各级官员可以把责任推到失去控制的“犯罪团伙”上。
