One of those things that, in literal sense, can mean anything to any reader. Could be a plan in “This is what we would like to do” or “This is what we will do” to “Get out of the way, unless you have tons of tourist or development dollars.” Might even be “We are no longer playing around with capitalist ideas.” Could be “Make China Great Again.”
