Needless to say, government mishandling of such disturbances, or a decision to repress them with force, would only fuel further social discontent. In fact, the government’s success in clamping down on corruption, especially at sub-national levels, will be a litmus test of its legitimacy.
勿庸置疑，如果政府对这些事件处理不当或决定用武力镇压，只会引起更大的社会不满。事实上，政府打击腐败的成功，特别是国家级以下的腐败，是对其的试金石。如果不成功，则有引发严重政治反响包括升级为反政府行为的危险。
