A Chinese federalist is first and foremost a Chinese nationalist and a staunch constitutionalist who advocates for federal republicanism in China. He is fundamentally a pan-blue supporter and concurs with basic doctrines of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. He is a 21th century manifestation of Chinese political aspirants who seek for a new political institution in China and calling for a total reconfiguration of the current political landscape within. He is a self-brandished Chinese neocon. That is both neo-Confucian and neo-conservative, the former of which is an "enlightened Confucian" who embraces both Western libertarian principles as well as autochthonous and orthodox Confucian values; the latter, not merely by chance, do find many analogies with his Western counterpart with respect to world view and political ideals.
