对此，反对派采取的新策略则是退出对政治权力的争夺 — — 与其直接与共产党统治硬碰硬，不如选择去建立许许多多自由，且互相关联的小圈子和社会组织，这样只要时机一到，反对派就能够迅速聚集起足够的力量去改变整个体制。
Instead, the new strategy was to sideline the issue of political power. Rather than attacking Communist rule directly, we would create small islands of freedom, inter-connected social circles and associations, which, when the moment came, could all be connected in order to change the system.
