THE ROLE OF CONFUCIAN TRADITIONS IN POLITICAL LIFE OF THE PRC
Keywords:
China, culture, traditions, politics, new confucianism, political confucianism, modern confucianism.Abstract
The article focuses on one of the most significant events in world politics – the rapid rise of China. It is noted that the influence of the Tianxia Empire on East Asia, including on the international order led by the West, leads political theorists to analyze its causes, trajectory and possible results. Less discussed, however, is the current status of Chinese political thought, which informs, shapes, and formulates the views of Chinese political leaders and the Chinese people. For some theorists, China is an authoritarian regime that adheres to orthodox Marxism-Leninism and has no respect for human rights and the rule of law. For others, China is an economically prosperous country that has benefited greatly from its reform and opening-up policies, but has been consumed by extreme materialism, manifested in greedy consumption and astonishing corruption.
