Abstract
- The article discusses nationalism and identity in modern China, focusing on disagreement in China over the relevance of traditional Chinese morality versus a modern political morality. Topics include Confucian or traditional Chinese family values and political norms; the synonymy of Chinese and Han and the importance of ethnicity in traditional and modern thought; and a discussion of efforts to both preserve traditional views on authority and authoritarianism and to embrace non-Chinese values such as democracy and citizens' rights. A discussion of the impact of perceptions of the gap between rich and poor, privilege, and income inequality is included.
