In many other areas, too, China’s government either remains indecisive or is offering only rhetoric and small gestures. For example, the devolution of some project-approval powers to local governments will not solve the underlying problem of excessive state intervention in the economy; on the contrary, it may even enhance the state’s role by giving local governments more freedom to carry out investment projects.
在许多其他领域也是如此，中国政府要么犹豫不决，要么只有一些空话或者微小的动作。例如将一些项目审批权移交给当地政府其实无法解决国家过度插手经济的根本问题；相反，通过给予地方政府更多推行投资项目的自由，国家所扮演的角色甚至更强大了。
