Conservative Thought in Contemporary China examines the evolution
of conservative politics in China, which has become increasingly
present following the death of Mao Zedong in 1978. Peter Moody
traces the roots of conservatism through the imperial system, the
Republican period, and the pre-Cultural Revolution People's
Republic, all of which influence contemporary Chinese politics. The
most direct programmatic form of conservativism has been
neo-conservativism politics, which formed during the Jiang Zemin
regime and persists to the present age in a diluted version. This
book demonstrates that conservative thought is a consequence of
relatively broad cultural and economic liberty, China's resentment
of American arrogance, and a fear of the social turmoil generated
as a by-product of liberal economic reforms. Moody critically
analyzes the influence of antipolitics and traditional values on
the current ideology of Chinese politicians and citizens.
Conservative Thought in Contemporary China is a insightful text
that will captivate those interested in Chinese studies and
political theory.
