Curious as to how he answers the question he poses.

A Reminder: Confucianism Is Allied to Statism

in practice, if not in spirit, and "imperial Confucianism" is not such a distortion of Confucianism as some modern proponents of contemporary Confucianism make it out to be.

How does the American administrative state look from across the Pacific? In the new @AmericanAffrs, Daniel Bell (@DanielB89913888) puts @Vermeullarmine & @CassSunstein’s Law & Leviathan in dialogue with Han Feizi as well as Confucian political thought 👇 https://t.co/e6d25hj8vO

More from Milbank on Empire

Thanks very much for this. Responses: I think no easy line between supposed organicism of states and artificiality of empire. China is historically an empire and organic. Roman Empire had a shared ‘organic’ culture. In some ways empires more than states put culture first. https://t.co/2iH95pguL0
