While this blog has been dark for a few months, I've been writing some stuff for The China Channel, a rather new endeavor sponsored by the LA Review of Books. I'm going to leave the links here, since all of these pieces involve contemporary interpretations of ancient Chinese thought of one sort or another:
Philosopher King: The classical philosophy that Xi Jinping ignores
Liberal Confucianism: Yan Xuetong's qualified acknowledgment of liberalism
Why Xi Jinping's China is Legalist, Not Confucian: The philosophical basis of China's "New Era"
Happy Reading!
