我并不担心会退回旧体制。谁能使几亿农民重返人民公社去记工分?谁能切断中国与国际市场已经发生的依赖性关系?谁能公开否定“商品经济不可逾越”的社会共识?潘多拉的盒子已经打开。我倒担心有这样的可能:面对危机,决策者不敢冒继续大踏步改革的风险,而寄希望于重用某些旧行政手段以保住局势;或者,原本抵触的政洽力量利用民众的短见和怨情,寻机整倒有所失误的改革者。结果,会形成这样一种局面:社会停滞和新旧体制的不均衡对峙。 I am not worried about returning the old system. Who can turn hundreds of millions of peasants back into the people’s communes to record their work points? Who can cut off the dependency relations that have taken place in China and the international market? Who can openly reject the social consensus of “insurmountable commodity economy”? Pandora’s box has been opened. I am worried that there may be such a possibility: in the face of the crisis, policymakers are afraid to take the risk of continuing great strides in reform and are hoping to re-use some of the old administrative measures to keep the situation. Or the contradicting political forces make use of public opinion And resentment, looking for a machine to make mistakes reformist. As a result, there will be a situation where the social stagnation and the unbalanced confrontation between new and old systems.
