On the Revival of Confucian Communism in China

by Daniel Bell

Confucianism and Communism were both pronounced dead at the end of the twentieth century. But the traditions have mounted remarkable comebacks in mainland China. Daniel Bell will draw on his book The Dean of Shandong (Princeton University Press, 2023) to help us think about the following questions: What explains the revival of Confucianism and Communism? What are the implications for Chinese society and the political system?
