Xi Jinping's political philosophy is a rather inconsistent mix of ideas from Confucianism, liberalism, and Marxism. It is hard to see how it could work in the long term.
- lopmotr 8y agoWhat's wrong with creating a new political philosophy? Plenty of old named ones have proven themselves not to work - Confucianism impedes technological growth, Marxism is Marxism, and liberalism doesn't have a long history of steady state to prove itself. Authoritarianism does seem to last, as long as the chain of leaders keep on maintaining it unbroken. Considering China's leaders are selected competitively, not by hereditary, it might have a better chance than old kingdoms.
