China state media warn against protest calls in capital
Source: Reuters

(Reuters) - China told its people on Saturday not to heed calls to emulate protests that have rocked the Middle East, warning that any threats to Communist Party-led stability could bring "disaster."

This was the government's most public warning yet against calls for Middle East-inspired pro-democracy protests that have spread from an overseas Chinese website, triggering tighter censorship, intense security in Beijing and new restrictions on foreign reporters.

"China told its people on Saturday not to heed calls to emulate protests that have rocked the Middle East, warning that any threats to Communist Party-led stability could bring "disaster."

"Everyone knows that stability is a blessing and chaos is a calamity,..."

More like, "The Party knows that stability is a blessing and chaos is a calamity". The Party only speaks of it's own stability, not the stability of the Chinese people.
