Right now China is in an ideological vacuum. The Marxists destroyed Confucianism, then Mao himself destroyed Marxism. Now nobody in China believes anything. That can't continue. China must have an ideology.
Any political system is held together partly by laws, partly by moral authority.
In the West, law is the most important ingredient. In China, the moral authority of the state is the main thing. I repeated this little nugget of Confucianism to Dr Wang. Yes, that's our traditional view. Of course, it needs modifying.
