<p>Ray - Off course today China is no longer a communist country and communist party members have less power. This does not mean the current Chinese government wants to promote Confuciusism. Also did you notice that the paragraph you quoted is in the past tense? What I mean is Chinese students in America want to excel in academics not because their parents were influenced by Confucius (because their parents were raised in a communist country).</p>
<p>India and Pakistan have nothing to do with Confucius but their people also value college education.</p>
