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?

Our bases are not there to confront and contain China . They have been there since China was a 3rd world peasant nation posing zero threat .

@AthrillatheHunt Why are our bases there for? We threw out the Brits who were stationing their soldiers in our houses back then before the revolution.

@sree251 I believe the Chinese are doing the same to the Uighers . Mandating they house mostly Manchurian soldiers .

@AthrillatheHunt What else do you believe? This is a philosophy thread with the focus on applied Confucianism in government. It requires you to be informed of facts and the ability to reflect on application of the philosophy.

@sree251 I believe it was bill Clinton who gave China permanent most favored nation trade status. This was after a senate committee hearing where we determined we will never understand the Chinese way of thinking .
