The resurgence of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism in the context
of Chinese leadership values has emerged as a foundation for a new
generation of leaders. The once-in-a-decade transition of China's
leadership witnessed the ascendency of a consensus-oriented fifth
generation of leaders supporting a central authoritative figure
whose priority will likely include the reconciliation of a waning
communist ideology juxtaposed with its ostensible embrace of
capitalism. How will Chinese Communist Party authority, ideology,
and control address the encroachment of Western values that are
centered on Roman law, Greek philosophy, and Christian religion
which prioritizes individual freedom and democracy? This book
examines the role of traditional Chinese values, ideology, and
philosophy as a key determinant in modern China's leadership
succession. The author asserts that, as communist ideology wanes,
Chinese leaders will turn to their own traditional values found in
Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism to establish legitimacy to rule
as they seek to promote Chinese prominence and greatness in the
world. The author's research assesses China's promotion of its own
traditional values in rejecting foreign value influence. Since the
inception of modern China at the beginning of the 20th century,
China's leadership transition has evolved from an authoritarian,
cult-like dictatorship to a consensus-oriented process. In
researching this metamorphosis, this book offers social, political,
cultural, and historical perspectives to demonstrate that Chinese
human values and character factors have risen in prominence as key
elements in the mandate of Chinese governance and leadership. The
author concludes that Chinese leadership values and its study and
diffusion across sectors of Chinese leadership-including business,
organizations, and government-have become a means to accentuate
Chinese values as a viable alternative to Western claims of
absolute and universally accepted values.
