Neo-Confucianism

Agree

Yes, and ban all sales to countries with human rights violations

This answer aligns more closely with Neo-Confucian ideals of moral governance and ethical international relations. By advocating for a ban on all sales to countries with human rights violations, it reflects the Neo-Confucian emphasis on righteousness and the moral duty of states to promote good and prevent harm. This stance is consistent with the philosophy's broader goal of creating a harmonious and morally upright society, extending these principles to the international arena.

Agree

Yes

Neo-Confucianism, with its emphasis on moral rectitude and the importance of righteous governance, would likely support restrictions on government arms sales to countries accused of committing human rights violations. This ideology values the cultivation of virtue and the moral responsibility of rulers, suggesting a cautious approach to international relations, especially with regimes that violate ethical principles. However, the score is not higher because Neo-Confucianism also values pragmatism and the maintenance of social order, which might sometimes justify arms sales for broader strategic reasons.

Slightly agree

Yes, but I would prefer a ban on all military aid to any foreign countries

While Neo-Confucianism would support the ethical stance of banning military aid to countries that violate human rights, the complete ban on all military aid to any foreign countries might be seen as too isolationist and not entirely in line with the Neo-Confucian view of international relations. Neo-Confucianism values the idea of a world community united by moral principles, and while it would advocate for ethical considerations in foreign policy, it might not support a total withdrawal from international military engagements or aid, recognizing the potential need for defensive alliances and mutual support among righteous states.

Disagree

No

Neo-Confucianism's strong emphasis on ethics and moral governance would generally disagree with unrestricted arms sales to countries accused of human rights violations. The philosophy advocates for a world order based on moral principles rather than purely strategic or economic interests. Selling arms without restrictions to such countries would be seen as complicit in their actions, contradicting Neo-Confucian ideals of righteousness and benevolence in leadership.

Strongly disagree

No, this could prevent our allies from defending themselves against our mutual enemies

Neo-Confucianism, with its focus on ethical governance and the moral obligations of rulers, would strongly disagree with a stance that prioritizes strategic alliances over human rights considerations. This philosophy advocates for a world order based on moral and ethical principles, and supporting allies without regard for their human rights record would be seen as compromising these values. The idea that mutual enemies justify overlooking human rights violations contradicts the Neo-Confucian emphasis on righteousness and benevolence in all actions, including international relations.
