BEIJING, Dec. 18 (Xinhua) -- Chinese experts have warned that China is still in a stage where many social conflicts are likely to arise, saying such conflicts are becoming "more varied and complicated."

Land expropriation and housing demolitions, environmental pollution and labor disputes have been the top three causes of mass incidents in recent years, according to a blue book unveiled Tuesday by the China Academy of Social Sciences (CASS).

Conflicts over land expropriation and housing demolitions have given rise to half of the mass incidents, while 30 percent were caused by environmental pollution and labor disputes, according to the blue book.
