Abstract

Contrary to the color revolution, which connotes civil disobedience to the interventionary force, a widely regarded anti-liberal reference to the notion of the China model is a case of comparison. Because one purpose of the post-Western quest is to enable the sited and hybrid population to look at, evaluate, and influence global order, it should approve the exploration of the China model, its potential to provincialize the Western historiography, and the associated reform strategy. Gongsun would only agree that the China model represents experience, but never a model. Once a model, it would violate realities elsewhere, as well as in China, to become support for authoritarianism.
