The Indian Journal of Political ScienceSummary: This paper critically examines the stability discourse in China by contextualizing the political
discourse of stability within the cultural discourse of harmony in order to understand the culture of
protests in China. The objective is to investigate the political space for protests within the broader
arena of harmony. Confucian ideal of harmony has been idealised in China and the paper examines
the significance of harmony in defining difference or discontent. In the process, the paper will also
examine the post reform quest for stability in China amidst increasing protests.This paper argues that
the stability discourse is only a part of the larger discourse of harmony in state society relations in
China. The stability is only the political use of the concept of harmony.-Reproduced
