СONFUCIAN PRINCIPLES IN THE PRACTICE OF STATE MANAGEMENT IN THE PERIOD OF REFORMS AND OPENNESS
The article reveals the historical stages of the use of the Confucian principles in the system of public administration in the People's Republic of China during the period of reforms and openness and its positive consequences in the case of modernization reforms. It is shown that conversion to Confucianism as an ideological and value-based belief system, which is historically traditional for the Chinese society, was caused by the discrepancy between the preserved official Marxist ideology and the contemporary need for the development and modernization of the society. The implementation of Confucian ideas into the practice of state administration served as an effective vaccination against the spread of Western, liberal values which was possible, in the conditions of the market functioning, and the connected with its formation of a civil society separate from the state. It also served as an effective tool for ensuring social stability in the transitive period. The consequence of this was the strengthening of the social mobilization of the people of the People's Republic of China and the consolidation of Chinese society.
Keywords: China, the period of reforms and openness, state administration, Confucianism, modernization.
