However, Zhou warned of the "arduous" task of maintaining social stability this year as "there are still many predictable and unpredictable factors that may affect social harmony and stability."

"Our country is still in a stage when many conflicts are likely to arise," said Zhou, who is also the secretary of the Political and Legislative Affairs Committee of the CPC Central Committee.

"Only when the national capital is stable, can the country be stable," he said.
