[...] de nombreux Chinois commettent l'une ou l'autre de ces deux erreurs courantes : ils endurent passivement l'injustice ou résistent en ayant recours à des mesures radicales ou même violentes. Or aucune de ces deux approches n’ est appréciée du gouvernement. Même si l'acceptation passive n’ entraîne au départ aucun inconvénient pour celui-ci, si la tolérance des citoyens est poussée jusqu'à sa limite, elle est susceptible d’entraîner des éclatements violents et incontrôlables 1, record 2, French, - acceptation%20passive
