Peaceful development

Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi's remarks that the country does not want to see anyone making something out of nothing is fully justified. Dismissing a journalist's concerns over the domestic situation at a press conference on Monday, Yang said he did not see any signs of tension at home.

Yang's observations that the Chinese are enjoying life and focusing on domestic development mirror the real situation in China today. While the country continues to reap a rich social and economic harvest, it is also confident of overcoming the difficulties on the road ahead.

Those who harbor concerns about China's capability to maintain social stability and pursue a peaceful road of development are either deluded or ill intentioned.
