新儒家
Li Minghui wrote that while Jiang admittedly did significant work complicating New Confucianism by referencing political tradition, his conception of political Confucianism was theoretically and practically unsound. He accused Jiang of being overly concerned with the political and thus overlooking the mind and morality. In another essay regarding the questionable dichotomy drawn between Mainland Confucians and Hong Kong/Taiwan Confucians, Li charged Jiang with conflating the political exclusively with Mainland Confucianism when it was clear that Hong Kong and Taiwan were both also heavily concerned with political Confucianism. Li calls Jiang's conception of political Confucianism "utopian."
