ABSTRACT
China certainly is not a passive receptor of influence from the outside world, but also a potential active exporter of ideas and concepts. This chapter discusses the implications of China's rising constitutionalism. The most prominent flaw of liberal constitutionalism is its confusion of human emancipation with political emancipation. To understand it, one should have a firm grasp of Marx's notions of religion and emancipation, two important concepts of Marx's philosophy. For the both concepts, Marx actually has two visions: first political emancipation is conventionally understood as stemming from religion and second human emancipation stems from Marx's unique understanding of "religiosity." Thus, Marx distinguishes between political emancipation and human emancipation. Since Marx's solution of a proletariat revolution did not occur in the West, the evolution of the West since then has been a downward spiral towards the abyss of demise. This analysis allows us to see why the Ukraine crisis is the West's fault and why the blundering has been inevitable.
