this article is very "opinionated" as in biased npov. Also some links would be nice.
River crab (internet slang) is clearly related to and derived from this. The term does not have any significance outside of it. Ohconfucius ( talk) 08:07, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
There is nothing in the main part of an article but a section on internet censorship. It's as if the main focus is on censorship, rather than government policies which strive to create a harmonious society. So I'm asking that more should be added on that subject.-- Alasdair 16:28, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Due to the POV complaint and the undue weight above mentioned, I don't think Merger was an good idea. I'm Splitting it and using a {{ Main}} to relate them.-- Tomchen1989 ( talk) 04:14, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
I am a student in a class called Music in International Relations and I am currently conducting a research on the Concept of Harmony in Chinese politics. I too agree that this article could be written with a more neutral point of view, not merely a criticism on the usage of the term "Harmonious Society" by the Communist Party of China (CCP). In fact, the concept of harmony in politics originated back in the time of Confucius. Music, under Confucian concepts, has the power to transform people to become more civilized because it has the function of cultivating mind and body. The ancient governments of China, in turn, utilized Qin music with a purpose to maintain peace and balance in the society. The source for the above claim is: Ko, Yi-Fang. “Confucianism in Qin Music.” Chinese Music 29, no. 2 (2006): 32-39. Furthermore, I found the claim in the article "the government often uses "Harmonious Society" as a euphemism to justify the suppression of dissent and the tight control on information in China" highly subjective. A more objective way of writing would focus on how the concept of "Harmonious Society" is different from previous political slogans. In other words, "Why 'Harmonious Society' now?" I think this is when we should begin to closely examine the Presidency of Hu Jintao, who is considered more reform-minded and liberal. His other message is scientific development, which stresses on science and technology. The source is: Geis, John and Blaine Holt. “ ‘Harmonious Society’ Rise of the New China.” Strategic Studies Quarterly 3, no. 4 (2009): 75-94. One huge timing factor for President Hu's message at the time was the problem of social inequality/ wealth gap, which if not dealt immediately, could lead to social unrest and even turmoil. A key reason contributing to a widening wealth gap was social injustice, which features collusion between entrepreneurs and officials. Through collusion, entrepreneurs were able to buy land from farmers and then sell it at high prices. Furthermore, with the protection of local officials, private coalmine owners simply ignored safety regulations to cut production costs. As a result, thousands of miners are killed in accidents. Hence, President Hu’s “harmonious society” also aims to deal with corruption and promote more social justice and equality. Source: Zhong, Wu. “China yearns for Hu's 'harmonious society'.” Atimes.com.

Could somebody please explain this move from "harmonious society" to "socialist harmonious society"? The former is the only way I've read it in sources and is a direct translation of the Chinese. Shrigley ( talk) 17:03, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Socialist Harmonious Society → Harmonious Society – use most common name according to all searches and Chinese name, also the concept is not new. Gryffindor ( talk) 23:45, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
