520 _aThis essay contemplates whether a true dialogue between Chinese civilization and Leo Strauss is possible, and if so, under what conditions. It describes the context under which Strauss was introduced to China, concentrating on Liu Xiaofeng, one of the most influential Straussians in contemporary China. An analysis of his interpretation of the Straussian critique of Western modernity reveals two fundamental distortions: where Strauss saw “tyrannical teaching” as something theoretical, Liu turns it into a blueprint for political action; and instead of recognizing the modernity of the ideological foundations of the state founded by Mao Zedong, he interprets them through the lens of tradition. This double distortion contradicts Strauss’s intention as a zetetic and Socratic philosopher.
