It is interesting how China is handling the Confucian tradition, trying to reconcile it with the official atheism of Stalinist Russia and the Chinese Communist Party itself. It has five tiers, at the top of which are the founders of modern China: Mao of course, and Deng Xiao Ping to whom temples are built in Beijing in recognition of their founding of the Communist Party with Chinese Characteristics. At the bottom are the traitors and enemies of the Party, who are recognized only locally in their family graves.
