A scholar of Chinese culture tells you why those defending China's totalitarian regime by using the idea of "Confucian values" are wrong:
The notion that China’s future must inevitably be found in its past, after all, is not particularly liberating, especially when one considers that this past represents a period prior to accountability in governance and recognition of human rights. Anyone who proposed a similar framework for the future of a western country, or even for such traditionally Confucian – but democratic – neighbors of China as South Korea, Japan, or Taiwan, would not be taken seriously.--------------------------------------

and if you don't think this is a dangerous trend, it's because you haven't been following medical ethics.
