Marcos in February 1986. In South Korea, a student uprising in June 1987 forced the mil-
itary to abandon its long-time rule and embrace civilian and democratically constituted
government. - It must be noted, however, that by the late nineteenth century some Chinese think-
ers were reconceptualizing Confucianism to transfer sovereignty from the virtuous
Son of Heaven to the people. See Liang Chi-chao, History of Chinese Political Thought,
London: Kegan Paul, 1930, chapter “On Democratic Ideals,” pp. 150–2. The CCP’s narra-
tive of the Chinese tradition is contested by prominent Chinese thinkers. - Suettinger, Beyond Tiananmen, p. 207.
