Current factors--center vs. provincial power, poorer vs. wealthier localities, the entry of global economic forces, the difficulty of gaining control over the military, the rise of civil society, and so on--are complex, and far different from anything imaginable in 1976.
今天的因素太複雜了，如中央與地方的爭持，地方與地方之間的貧富不均，國際經濟力量的深入，軍事力量之不易捉摸，民間社會的重新出現等，都是一九七六年時所不曾夢見的。
