Critics: officials prohibit setting off firecrackers in cities on the grounds that firecrackers hurt people and cause fires, rather than trying to find ways to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, which implies conscious or unconscious cultural discrimination. Smoking causes illness or fire every year, which is much more common than that caused by fireworks. Why can't we help it?. Banning fireworks not only implies cultural discrimination, but also removes the last festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival.
The statement 'Traditional Chinese festivals such as Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and double Ninth Festival are not official festivals' is the hypothesis on which the critic's conclusion depends.
