(9) We must link promoting reform and development with maintaining social stability. While keeping the momentum of our development pace, we should pay more attention to balanced development, so as to ensure unity, harmony and stability in our society.

Over the past 30 years, we have properly handled the relationship between reform, development and stability while vigorously pursuing reform and development. We take reform as a driving force, development as our aim, stability as a prerequisite and improving people’s lives as a pivotal task in balancing reform, development and stability. We pursue reform and development against the backdrop of social stability, while promoting social stability through reform and development. At a time when far-reaching and profound changes are taking place in China and beyond, we should always maintain social stability.

Striking a balance between reform, development and stability is an important guiding principle that bears on China’s socialist modernization drive. In order to advance our socialist modernization, we must take the initiative in adjusting and reforming the aspects and links where there are inconsistencies between relations of production and productive forces and between the superstructure and the economic base. While persisting in exploring new frontiers and making innovations courageously, we bear the big picture in mind, pay much attention to priorities, solve easy problems before difficult ones, make progress in a phased manner and gain experience through practice. We render our decision-making in a more scientific manner and reform measures better coordinated. We seek to harmonize reforms in the economic, political, cultural, social and other systems to garner broad and deep support from the public. We sum up our experience in reform in a timely fashion so that we can continue with right practices, rectify wrong practices in no time, and address new problems as soon as they arise. At the same time, we are deeply aware that development is the fundamental principle and stability is the fundamental goal. Without stability, we will get nowhere and may even fritter away our past achievements. We should correctly understand and deal with all kinds of problems in our economy and society. We should strengthen and improve our ideological and political work. We should improve the mechanism for safeguarding the rights and interests of the people in which the Party and the government play a leading role. We should handle internal problems of the people in a proper and timely manner. We should crack down on crime in accordance with the law, remain vigilant against and resolutely forestall infiltrative and sabotaging activities in various forms, safeguarding social stability and national security. Treasuring the current period of important strategic opportunities, we should safeguard national security and the fundamental interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. With that in mind, we should always have a comprehensive understanding of the overall significance of social stability, effectively address the manifold problems and challenges that affect social stability and ensure that people live and work in peace and contentment, society remains stable and in good order and the state enjoys lasting stability.
