Harmonious Society

The Harmonious Society (simplified Chinese:和谐社会; traditional Chinese:和諧社會; pinyin:héxié shèhuì) has been a socioeconomic vision in China.
The concept of social harmony dates back to ancient China, to the time of Confucius. As a result, the philosophy has also been characterized as a form of New Confucianism. In modern times, it developed into a key feature of Hu Jintao's signature ideology of the Scientific Development Concept developed in the mid-2000s, being re-introduced by the Hu–Wen Administration during the 2005 National People's Congress.
