ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on Huaxiaism, a new way of looking at the world developed by some leading scholars in China, particularly Ye Zicheng, a professor of political science at Peking University who is one of the authors. Huaxiaism comprises three main components. The three main components are Confucian model, Shang Yang model and Laozi model. The Confucian model was a fundamental constituent of Chinese political culture and was embodied in the concept of "good governance", which suffused traditional political thought. In the Confucian model and Confucian thought, a society governed by litigation was inferior to one perfected by good government and practicing the rites. It may be said that Shang Yang's political blueprint emphasized the construction of a man-made structure rather than the rule of man. In the "Laozi model", government is not only one of the ways in which human society organizes itself; it is also a way in which "Dao" manifests itself.
