China's government is practicing Confucianism. Why is this a threat?

US foreign policy regards China as a threat to world order based on liberal democracy. American military bases and troops are positioned in South Korea, Japan, and Philippines to confront and contain China. Do we have a right to force China to abandon Confucianism? Why do our foreign policy experts view Confucianism as harmful to humanity?

I’m fairly certain it’s their military expansionism, tyrannical treatment of its citizens and its cyber activity undermining the security of other countries that had cause ire, not its spirituality.

@Morvoren Military expansionism? The US has 1000 military bases around the world. China has how many? The last time I checked they have one base in Djibouti to protect their merchant ships in the Suez.

What tyrannical treatment are you talking about. There are Americans expats living in China and around the world. Below is a video. I have not watched it. Tell me what you think about your mindset

@sree251 Sure I’m not defending the US, I’m calling out China for what it is.

@Morvoren How about your thoughts on Confucianism?

Morvoren · F

@sree251 It makes about as much as any other religion.

@Morvoren What? Confucianism is not a religion. It's philosophy.

@sree251 Whatever.
