黃金周壓力：中國的基礎設施，特別是交通運輸旅遊設施，以及城市安全建設，恐怕無法負荷因黃金周經濟而產生的壓力。
Pressure from the Golden Week: China's infrastructure, especially those in transportation, tourism and urban safety are still too primitive to undertake the heavy load generated by the Golden Week Boom.
政府運輸部門，除了每年要面對“春運”（春節期間鐵路和公路運輸）的挑戰外，更要面對十．一長假的運輸挑戰。

常見評論欄目的觀點
View Points from the Commentators of the Media:
．黃金周帶來好處的同時，也帶來不少壞處：消費的亂象，環境遭到不可逆轉的破壞
While the Golden Week did bring some benefits, it also brought about something negative, such as the irregularities in consumer market, and the irreversible destruction of the environment.
．必須正視黃金周旅遊所帶來的心理負擔：一種攀比 (pan1bi3)、鬥富(dou4fu4)的社會現象
We should look at some negative phenomena brought about Golden Week Tourism: people are engaging themselves in unrealistic competition to see who can afford expensive travel.
．五．一黃金周該不該恢復？
Should the government reinstate the golden week of May 1st Golden Week in future calendar?

（春節應該讓人想到，一年應該從好的準備和計劃開始）
For lunar new year, one should consider that a good planning with good preparation is a good start for the whole year)
（五一勞動節應該讓人想到，勞動大眾的權益要靠勞工本人積極爭取，同時要靠政府實現對勞工的承諾：勞動場所的安全、勞工保險、勞工過勞、勞工討薪等問題都有待解決）
For May 1st holidays, one should understand that the rights of workers should be fought for by the workers themselves, and also be preserved by the government through committing itself to realize its promise in safety of the work place, insurance for laborers, and solution of the issues of overworking of the laborers, delayed salary payment.)
（十一國慶應該讓人(特別是國家幹部）想到，共產黨建立新中國的初衷、國家現在面臨的處境、中國夢如何實現等問題）

中國人最容易被觸怒的事 II （繁體版）典型媒體反應
延續05/22的貼文：
中國人最容易被觸怒的事 II （繁體版）典型媒體反應
(Things that may trigger defensive response from Chinese Media II)
媒體典型反應 (Typical Defensive Response from General Chinese Media)
貼文中提到中國的典型反應：(typical reaction from authors in Chinese media posted in previous posting)
（1）批評外國的惡意詆毀、不公平、採取雙重標準、存心不良(criticizing foreign media for being malicious, slanderous, unfair, double-standard or having ulterior motives)
（2）重申中國的一貫立場(和平崛起、持續改革開放），外國或不友善團體的計謀不會得逞(reiterating the firm and persisting stance of China such as that China will rise in peace, and China will continue to open up and reform, and the unfriendly scheme against China by foreign clique will never gain ways to succeed)
（3）強調中國有自己的國情，不能把外國標準硬套在中國的國情之上 (stressing that China has its own course of running the country, and no one can impose an unfit standard upon China.)
（4）強調中國政府對內政的主權，不容外國“指手畫腳”，“道三說四”......(stressing the sovereignty of PRC government over its internal affairs and other countries have no right to point their fingers or issue nonconstructive remarks)
（5）呼籲“陰謀分子”看清事實，迷途知返。 (appealing to "conspirators" to face the fact and come back to the right track)
以上的回應，從情緒上可以歸納為 (the reactions above can be categorized into the following sentiments)
1）憤怒 fen4nu4 indignant
2）冤枉 yuan1wang3 wronged
3）急於辯解 ji2yu2 bian4jie3 eager to defend
4）反擊 fan3ji1 retortative
5）強化自信 qiang2hua4 xi4xin4 self assuring
從言語策略上，可以看到其邏輯：(the logic in the rhetoric is:)
1）這是外國陰謀分子的不友善，傷害中國人的感情，但大部分的外國友人是善良的，一小撮人的意見，是不會成為主流意見的。 （一小撮人：美國軍方鷹派、日本軍國主義右派、各種分裂主義分子）
(This stems from the hostility of a bunch of people, which hurts the feeling of Chinese people, howerver, the majority of our foreign friends are nice people, and the opinion of this bunch of people will never prevail.) (small bunch of people : the Hawks in US Pentagon, the Rightists in Japan, all the separatists )
2）中國從不干涉別國的內政，外國也不應該干涉中國的內政
(As China never interfere with the internal affairs of other nations, they should not interfere with those of China)
3）批評自己以前，應該先看看自己的問題
(Before you criticize others, you should take a look at yourself)
4）中國正在進步，但是它走自己的道路，所謂“普世價值”是外國霸權的思想，中國悠久歷史中，太多可以借鑑，不需進口外國思想。
(China is stepping forward in its own pace, walking on its own path, and the so-call "universal values" are dictated by hegemonic powers. China can learn great lessons from its long history, rather than imported something unfit)

學生可能搞錯方向的詞
以下詞語，學生很可能會錯誤理解為方向正好相反或截然不同的意思，如把「次數很多」的「不時」理解為「沒有」或「次數很少」，或是把「解除禁令」的「開禁」理解為「開始禁止」。
- 不時 (bùshí)：often, frequently, from time to time, every now and then (not "in no time" or "have no time") 暴力事件不时地发生
- 活埋 (huómái)：bury alive (not "alive" or "survie") 地震后有....人遭活埋
- 未必 (wèibì) ：not necessarily, may not (not "must") 立刻解决未必是最好的办法
- 開禁/开禁 (kāijìn)：lift a ban or prohibition (not "forbidding") 开禁后，人民可以自由表达意见。

回到問題癥結點，政府下令官方網站撤除簡體版，難免多少也有政治考量，避免讓綠營有任何作文章的機會，也等於替大選打預防針。但如此官方禁令，還是宣示效果大於實質意義。
