SUMMARY:Meritocracy in China and The United States
DESCRIPTION:Seating is limited. Masks are required for all in-person audien
 ce members.\n\nIn western society\, meritocracy is an idea and principle o
 f distributive justice\, which distributes social wealth and opportunities
  based on the achievements one gets\, that is\, who contributes the most s
 hould get the most income and opportunity. This idea has greatly influence
 d America. In China\, the idea of Meritocracy dates back to early Confucia
 nism. However\, it is much more complicated\, and it is different from the
  western version. It cared little about the distribution of social wealth 
 among people\, it instead focused on how to distribute political power bas
 ed on people’s virtue\, and how to govern the society with virtue. When 
 modern China has been influenced by the western countries and its own soci
 al structure has been greatly changed\, the idea of Meritocracy of western
  societies has been working quietly. However\, when talking about Meritocr
 acy\, it is still more likely for Chinese to take it as the ancient politi
 cal version. Thus\, it is important for us to clarify these different emph
 ases of Meritocracy in the United States and China\, and their differences
  within traditional China and modern China\, in order to analyze the probl
 ems caused by Meritocracy in both societies and how to deal with it. Besid
 es\, the political dimension of Meritocracy in China could be supplement f
 or the western version of it when we reflect on it.
