CHINESE DAO IN 21ST CENTURY ACCORDING TO FUNG EXPLAINEDTHE RISE OF CHINA AS A POLITICAL MERITOCRACY AND CIVILIZATION STATEBY FRANCIS C W FUNG, PH. D.Fung’s essay of Chinese Dao (Ways) in 21st century is a five part Dao story of the rise of China as a meritocracy and civilization state. China is the only ancient civilization that has a continuous uninterrupted five thousand years history in the world. The Chinese Confucian philosophy extended to the world and heavily influenced the governance of South Eastern Asian nations to this day. The economic success of the Asian nations during the 20th century globalization is largely credited to the Confucian emphasis of education and hard work. But what has escaped the West’s global dialogue is the most important tradition of meritocracy governance of China as a civilization state. This is because the West is blinded by our liberal democratic ideology as not to see the most important Chinese contribution of meritocracy governance system to the world. The success of Singapore and China in the 20th century globalization as outstanding examples of meritocracy governed nations now proved the utter failure of the arrogant and premature Francis Fukuyama’s “theory of the end of civilization”.Throughout China’s five thousand years of rich civilization there were numerous outstanding philosophers such as Confucius, Mencius and Laotze etc. These and other famous philosophers created school of thoughts that are holistic and dedicated to serve all mankind for the good. These began with the Confucian governance system of Huang Dao (Grand Way) for the ultimate emperor. Confucian teachings of the grand way (Huang Dao) are; good governance must be based on the well-being of the people(Yi ren wei ben), to walk the grand way, the world works for the interest of all people(Da Dao zhi xing,Tien xia wei gong), select the outstanding and appoint the capable(Xuan xian yu neng) and unity of mankind(Sei jie da tong). Inspired by these grand holistic visions Chinese people are more inclined to think globally and holistically compared to the West that highly value individualism. These holistic inspirations will lead China to the 21st century to strive for win win cooperation and global community of common destiny as exemplified by the five Chinese Dao (ways) stories in Fung’s essay.The five Dao stories of the rise of China as a meritocracy and civilization state are:(I)CHINA AS THE CIVILIZATION STATE WITH THE GRAND WAY(HUANG DAO)China as a civilization state of long tradition with a predominant Confucian philosophy has practiced meritocracy throughout history. During the emperor days, the power of the emperors was constrained by the advice of their mandarin court. The mandarins in the court were selected through imperial examinations that were open to the whole population. The standard of the examinations were set by Confucian teachings of the grand way (Huang Dao), such as good governance must be based on the well-being of the people(Yi ren wei ben), the world works for the interest of all people(Tien xia wei gong), select the outstanding and appoint the capable(Xuan xian yu neng) and unity of mankind(Sei jie da tong). With this Confucian high ideal of the grand way(Huang Dao) to guide China’s meritocracy governance China remain the highest civilization state of the world for most world history. During the last two thousand years except for the last two hundred years China was the most advanced and prosperous empire in the world. China was behind in the European industrial revolution but guided by her civilization state meritocracy China rapidly caught up with the West during the last four decades. Today China is the second largest economy and the world’s number one trading nation again.(II) VERTICAL POLITICAL MERITOCRACY DEMOCRACY AS DAO PRACTICED IN CHINAAfter many years of extensive research, Daniel Bell, chair professor of the Schwarzman Scholars Program at Tsinghua University, in “The China Model” reported that China has a long tradition of meritocracy practice. The Chinese Communist Party (CPC) has a very large Organization Department which tests and trains the cadres for promotion. The tests and programs are rigorous and also include nominations by piers and superiors. Periodic skill trainings are conducted with sophisticated party school courses.Chinese political meritocracy is firmly implemented at top level of government and election at lower village level, not unlike the Bahai system of governance. Chinese top leaders at the politburo level need at least three terms of duty at large city or provincial level with hundreds of millions of citizens. This is called a vertical system of meritocracy democracy by Professor Daniel Bell. That we in the U.S. totally missed China’s development of the Dao of the political meritocracy democracy as legitimate governance system is because of our preoccupation to spread our liberal democracy ideology to maintain hegemony. The risks that we missed this China Dao of development cannot be overestimated. This is of paramount importance that the new Trump government now be informed of China’s vertical political meritocracy democracy so we can remain engaged with important development and stay competitive. (III) CHINESE DAO OF “HE” CULTURE IS SOCIALISM WTH CHINESE CHARACTERISTICS“HE” culture is the Chinese harmony philosophy of Confucian and Daoism teaching. According to Professor Daniel Bell, the eminent Western Confucian scholar at Tsinghua University, Confucians emphasize that a good life is characterized, first and foremost, by rich and diverse social relations. Harmony, at a minimum, means peaceful order in the absence of violence. Conflict is unavoidable; harmony is the result of dynamic balance of contending forces. The Confucian idea of harmony also values diversity (Hai na bei chuan, you yon na da).Under the grand Dao of harmony, Xi Jinping, the president of China, is travelling the world to promote win win cooperation, mutual development, and community of common destiny. Hope is high that the newly elected U.S. president will accept the new major power relation proposed by Xi and not confront China. Please refer to my published essay “Why Xi Jinping, the president of China is good for China and world harmony”. (Please google worldharmonyforum.blogspot.com/ under harmony renaissance).(IV) THE CHINESE DAO OF INTERNET CULTURE IS ABOUT GOOD FOR THE LARGEST DENOMINATION (YI REN WEI BEN)The Chinese belief is holistic, good for the largest denomination. American highly value individualism and freedom. Confucian philosophy teaches the grand way for the world (Huang Dao), such as good governance must be based on the well-being of all the people (Yi ren wei ben), the world works for the interest of all people (Tien xia wei gong) not just one nation, select the outstanding and appoint the capable (Xuan xian yu neng) and unity of mankind (Sei jie da tong). Because individualism is highly valued, the U.S. government uses the internet to promote identity politics and political correctness, by so doing sets a limit to its internet growth to the largest denomiation. On the contrary Chinese internet sets its sight on good for the largest demonization. As a result Chinese internet is more pervasive and far reaching. That is why even China is an internet late comer it’s internet is fast surpassing America. Of the ten largest internet enterprise five of them are in China and continue to grow. Today Nov 11 is the singles day Alibaba internet sale in China. In one day the sale of one trillion RMB sales surpassed the combined America total sales of Thanksgiving, Christmas and black Friday.(V) THE CHINESE DAO OF “ONE BELT ONE ROAD” INITIATIVEThe ancient Silk Road that connects Europe with China through Central Asia is more than just a road of commerce. It is also a road of exchange for people, culture, technolongy and civilization. The four great inventions of China were transmitted to Europe through the Silk Road. Without those important inventions the European renaissance may not have happened or would be drastically reduced in scale or delayed. In 2003 President Xi Jinping of China announced the grand initiative of the Economic Development Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (abbreviated as One Belt one Road).Since launching the initiative China has set up the Silk Road fund and Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank to finance infrastructures all over the world. China also built many highways, bridges, ports and railways through many difficult terrains connecting China with Europe through Central Asia. Many nations on the strategic route including Central, Eastern Europe, Central Asia and Arab countries are now embracing the One Belt One Road Initiative. For more information on the fast growth of One belt One Road initiative, google the subject and specific essays such as “Europe Finally Wakes Up To The New Silk Road, And This Could Be Big”.March 31, 2015 is a historic moment. China successfully launched the Asian Infrastructure Bank to fund the New Silk Road Initiative to provide connectivity for the world. Japan the last U.S. major military alliance country announced today that it would join the China infrastructure bank! By now all U.S. allies have all broke from their military alliance with America and join the peaceful mutual development initiative. The only redeeming grace for America is to join as observer country at a later day. It is natural for China to launch the New Silk Road Initiative, because of all the historical, technological, financial capability and infrastructure building experience reasons. China in the last 39 years has built 20 trillion dollars of infrastructure in her own country. This super scale of construction in such a short time has no historical precedence!Francis C W Fung, Ph.D.Director GeneralWorld Harmony Organization, San Francisco, CA

Repetitious but valuable insights into China’s and Xi Jinping’s view of China s place in the world and how he believes :China will grow to dominate even the US in 10-15 years

This series of speeches demonstrates Xi Jinping's belief that Chinese political thought is evolving over the generations (Guiding Principles of the CPC speech, November 17, 2012, or Kindle version at 2%). Recalling 5,000 year history of China, Xi Jinping offers in these writings a fusion of modern and traditional thought. There may be similarity, for example, in the "path, theory, and system" of present-day Chinese socialism (Kindle version, at 2%) and the traditional idea of the reinforcing links of "government, ruler, and law" in the book of Huainanzi, which itself sought to combine or develop Legalist, Confucian, and Taoist schools of thought (see Wikipedia entry for Huainanzi, and the Roger T. Ames translation of Huai-nan Tzu or "The Art of Rulership: A Study of Ancient Chinese Political Thought", Kindle version at 2%: "So government was instituted to prevent the people from doing what they pleased, the ruler to prevent government from doing what it pleased, laws, etc. to prevent the ruler from doing what he pleased."). Again, there may be a likeness of these political ideas because both the "law" in the traditional case and the "system" in today's China ensures success: Xi Jinping writes "The Congress stressed that the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics is a way to reach the goal, the theory offers a guide to action, and the system provides a fundamental guarantee." (Kindle at 3%, Guiding Principles of the CPC, November 17, 2012).Among the other traditional ideas applied in these speeches, there are probably the following:a. Legalist political philosophy, that all people have a responsibility to follow the law, is evident in recent and ongoing anti-corruption efforts (Xi Kindle at 5%, and Ames Kindle at 4%: "The author [Liu An and other scholars] couches his political philosophy in a series of loosely connected yet consistent discussions devoted to predominantly Legalist concepts.");b. Confucianism, in the sense that education and hard work have great value, is seen in the speeches to youth groups (Kindle at 9%);c. Taoism, in the sense that harmony with nature is important, may be consistent with the repeated calls for ecological improvements in China (see Kindle at 10%: "We should comprehensively promote socialist economic, political, social and ecological advancement").d. Western ideas, in the sense of democracy with Chinese characteristics or the ability to petition or write to the government, and socialism, are evident (but with primacy for socialism and economic development) in the declared goal of a "prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, and harmonious" China by 2049 (see Kindle at 11%).e. New Confucianism: "advocates for certain Confucianist elements of society - such social, ecological, and political harmony - to be applied in a contemporary context in synthesis with Western philosophies" (from Wikipedia listing). Regarding this title, Xi Jinping's statement that "China needs to learn more about the rest of the world, and the outside world needs to learn more about China" ("The People's Wish for a Good Life Is Our Goal", November 15, 2012, or Kindle at 2%) is consistent with the "New Confucian Manifesto" section on the above Wikipedia entry ("...the Manifesto argues that while China must learn from the West modern science and democracy, the West must learn from China (and the Confucian tradition in particular) "a more all-encompassing wisdom" ").However, there are significant distinctions too. One distinction of Huainanzi thought and socialism with Chinese characteristics is the the priority of society before the individual. Xi Jinping writes that "One can only do well when one's country and nation do well, Only if everyone strives for a better tomorrow can our efforts be aggregated into a powerful force to realize the Chinese Dream (Kindle at 12%). In contrast, "The Art of Rulership", as interpreted by Ames, holds that: "Further, this alternative [written by Liu An and other scholars] would underwrite the principle of universal self-determination on the basis that the realization of the part is coextensive with the realization of the whole, that individual fulfillment leads directly and inevitably to social harmony and political stability." (Ames Kindle at 4%). The Han court did not accept this new formulation of ideas proposed by Liu An, with its seemingly democratic and federalist aspects, but of course continued to support individual elements of Legalism, Confucianism, Taoism.Returning to current times, in the call to "boost the scientific way of development, and to continue to lay a solid material and cultural foundation for realizing the Chinese Dream" (Kindle at 10%) it is notable that China continues the development of clean energy, and nuclear power stations, both supported by Jiang Zemin (see Amazon customer reviews for "Research on Energy Issues in China" and "The Politics of Nuclear Energy in China" by Xu Yi-Chong). By using Western science, Chinese manufacturing and construction of nuclear power stations, and long-term planning, China can make progress in providing ample electricity and clean air to its citizens. As an academic observer and one who is impressed with the improvement of nuclear energy in China, including innovative small modular reactors being developed by Tsinghua University, I hope for advances in the health and prosperity of Chinese people and consequential benefits to the climate and biosphere.With a continued fusion, and evolution, of Chinese political thought and its application in the economy and energy sectors, one can be optimistic that the China will reach the goals for a "moderately prosperous society in all respects" by its centenary in 2021 (see "Hard Work Makes Dreams Come True", April 28, 2013 speech).
