That is why there is a leader there, if not it would be just an anarchy or liberal democracy like in the Western countries

Not all Chinese emperors ruled to benefit the people, if they did there would be no coups, rebellions or dynastical changes. That is because according to the heavenly mandate if the people revolts against your rule it is because you failed in achieve social harmony that is a fundamental value of Confucianism and so far you are illegitimate. Like Qing was fully illegitimate within the people

The Confucian ideal of democracy by Sun Zhongshan is far from a Freemason Greco-Roman Western European, yeah I know there are retards in Taiwan and Hong Kong that want this shit, but that is not what I’m referring to here. It is about extend the heavenly mandate tradition to prevent instability and having a long date social harmony

That is responsiveness to the will of the people focusing the Confucian value of social harmony. So either the leader or the party (depending on the case) acts as a centralized authority in the interest of the people, with their legitimacy by this principle
