Chinese exceptionalism

Chinese exceptionalism (Chinese: 中国例外主义[1]) is a form of exceptionalism and Chinese nationalist ideology originating from the Tianxia and Hua–Yi distinction idea. It argues that China cannot apply liberal democracy since it is different from the rest of the world and is unique in its history, politics, economy and social form. Clarissa Tan described Zhang Weiwei and Eric X. Li as Chinese exceptionalists who argue that the China model is the right path for China. According to Tan, this view has become increasingly popular.[2][3]
