"IN some places and in the minds of some officials, 'stability before all else' has been given a skewed interpretation," said Zhu Mingguo, deputy Party Secretary of Guangdong Province, at a recent provincial conference.
"They fail to handle collective incidents properly: they either worsen conflicts by giving those incidents a bad name, or they go to the other extreme of unconditional appeasement."
The following are main points of Zhu's opinions on social stability.
1. "Stability" does not mean that nothing can go wrong. When something begins to go wrong (involving the public interest), some officials choose to hide the truth. In so doing, the officials brush aside public concerns and maintain stability by power, not negotiation.
2. Money cannot buy "stability." Some local governments and officials believe that compromise constitutes harmony and that money can buy stability. But stability thus secured is expedient at best - it cannot take root.
3. "Stability" cannot be achieved solely by the efforts of police and judges. It needs effective public participation.
4. There should be no "Great Leap Forward of Stability." A stable Guangdong Province cannot be made in a haste. We must be down-to-earth and do what we can, step by step. We cannot have a great leap forward of stability, for this would only reduce "stability" to a public stunt.
