Abstract: This long article by Kang Xiaoguang of the Chinese Academy of Sciences is an effort to sum up the state of society and politics in contemporary China and to ask the critical question: Is it stable? In some ways, the picture that Kang draws is encouraging: the intellectual elite is more reconciled to the political system than it has been since the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the economic elite finds the political status quo comfortable, and the political elite is more willing to absorb rising elements (intellectual, economic, or social) than it has ever been. Although the public faces many problems and is discontented, Kang believes the overall situation is stable.
