Such concrete proposals for political reform inspired by Confucian values can rarely be published in mainland China. In fact, there are fewer constraints imposed on public discussion of liberal-democratic institutions precisely because few Chinese are inspired by Western-style liberal democracy.
如此具体的、由儒家价值观引发而出的政治改革提议难以在中国大陆公开发表。实际上，正是由于鲜有中国人受到西方自由民主制度鼓舞，所以对于自由民主机制的公开讨论才限制较少。如今，中国政治现状最为可行的替换者就是左派儒家学说。
