Chan Hing-ho explains that in the West, Christianity was aligned with political power, and so was able to exert great pressure. But although Chinese Buddhism also preached that "licentiousness is the greatest of all evils," Buddhism in China had no ruling status, and so was not able to bring such pressure to bear.
陳慶浩解釋，在西方，基督教與政權合一，形成一種強大的壓力；中國佛教雖然也講「萬惡淫為首」，但佛教在中國沒有統治地位，因此並未形成壓力。
