Conservatism in China
Conservatism in China (simplified Chinese: 保守主义; traditional Chinese: 保守主義; pinyin: bǎoshǒu zhǔyì) emphasizes authority and meritocracy stemming from Confucian values, and economically, aims for state capitalism rather than free markets. Many Chinese conservatives reject original sin, empiricism, individualism or classical liberal principles and differ from modern Western conservatism because Chinese conservatism believes in the innate goodness of man, and has a strong rationalist and communitarian element. A major concern of modern Chinese conservatism is the preservation of traditional Chinese culture.
