Again, surely this can be put down to the individualistic nature of western societies, where the individual as a person does not exist, nor have the same rights under the all encompassing scope of confucianism? The UK, Australia, Canada and the USA all operate by rule of law, not rule BY law. When only a few at the top have power which they can distribute as they see fit to anyone beneath them, as opposed to everyone being equal BEFORE the law, things will never change. Granted, rule of law is imperfect, but is rule BY law any more of an improvement?
