Now, with reform and opening up continuing to deepen, the sustained, rapid development of economic construction provides favorable conditions for political security and social stability throughout the entire city. At the same time, due to the great force and breadth of reforms and adjustments of economic interests, many factors of instability and sprouts of troublemaking caused by various social conflicts have also arisen in the city. Mass security incidents have increased over the years, seriously affecting social stability in the city and also having a negative impact on economic development. Therefore, under the leadership of the Municipal Party Committee, Municipal Government, and Ministry of Public Security, in its work handling mass security incidents, the Municipal Bureau has always maintained a high degree of political acumen and sense of danger. It has correctly grasped the methods and principles for handling conflicts among the people, promptly and properly performed its work, and strove to resolve conflicts at the grassroots, mitigate them internally, and eliminate their sprouts in order to meet the work objective of “no major incidents, promptly mitigating minor incidents, and not having major incidents that affect overall stability” and to create a good social security environment for Shanghai’s economic takeoff and social development.
