I greatly appreciate the concept of “harmony”, I am just wary of any one organization declaring itself to be the sole arbiter of what comprises harmonious behavior and expression.
Right. Dissenters are non-harmonious. So are people wishing to follow their particular religion, like Uighur Muslims, or Tibetan Buddhists, or Falun Gong-ists.
Basically, anything that threatens the primacy of the Party and the “feelings of the Chinese people” is non-harmonious and can get you in trouble.
