Conservatism in China (Chinese: 保守主義; pinyin: bǎoshǒu zhǔyì) is emphasizes authority and meritocracy stemming from Confucian values, and economically, it aims for state capitalism rather than free markets. Many Chinese conservatives reject individualism or classical liberal principles and differ from modern Western conservatism because of its strong communitarian element; a major concern of modern Chinese conservatism is the preservation of traditional Chinese culture.[1]
