While taking a history class on modern China, and a political science class that covers China as well, you begin to understand the significance that China's culture has played in their economics, and governing. Currently, I am starting to agree with the writer Cao Jinqing, who believed that China is moving away from socialism, and establishing their own style of bureaucratism rather than adopting a Western-style liberal capitalism system. China seems to be consumed with not being too much like the West, that they will always keep a considerable distance in their economical views. Following Confucianism has caused them to take certain paths that will run opposite of the West. Now that the Chinese are starting to function efficiently with Confucianism and building a sound economic structure, they are going to continue in an upward trend. Their top leaders possess engineering backgrounds, rather than law backgrounds, this will enable them to prosper to new heights, but might have a negative affect on civil rights.
