社会和谐

2002年中共十六大报告第一次将"社会更加和谐"作为重要目标提出。2004年中共十六届四中全会进一步提出构建社会主义和谐社会的任务，强调社会和谐是中国特色社会主义的本质属性。党的十八大把坚持促进社会和谐作为坚持和发展中国特色社会主义的基本要求之一。促进社会和谐，就要把保障和改善民生放在更加突出的位置，加强和创新社会管理，正确处理改革发展稳定关系，团结一切可以团结的力量，最大限度增加和谐因素，增强社会创造活力，确保人民安居乐业、社会安定有序、国家长治久安。

Social harmony

In the political report delivered at the 16th National Congress of the CPC in 2002, "fostering social harmony" was announced as a major goal for the first time. In 2004, the Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the CPC announced the task of building a harmonious socialist society, stressing that social harmony is an inherent attribute of socialism with Chinese characteristics. The Party's 18th National Congress listed promoting social harmony as a basic requirement for upholding and building Chinese socialism.

To promote social harmony, China will give higher priority to ensuring and improving the people's wellbeing; strengthen and conduct innovative social management; strike a balance between reform, development and stability; bring together all forces that can be rallied; maximize factors conducive to harmony; and increase the creative vitality of the society. It will make every effort to ensure that its people live and work in contentment, its society has good public order and the country itself enjoys enduring peace and stability.
