What is social stability?

Social stability has long been an important principle in China. However, this concept must be interpreted correctly in order to permit progress, says an article in the Changjiang Times. Excerpts:

The report pointed out deficiencies in the present efforts of authorities to promote social stability, and proposed a system that would allow all members of society to express their concerns.
