Compared to the reading of Ricoeur by those looking for a re-birth of tradition in China, one can read comments of Jaspers in his letters:
1) the tradition in China was suppressed but does not need to be re-born; quite the contrary
2) Falun-Gong can be viewed as yet another perversion of the core of the teaching of the Dao as best can be reconstructed by hermeneutics.
3) The real political issue will be the extent access will be allowed to missionaries (yet again)
Heidegger and Ricoeur both lacked any scientific background.
notes to follow: Confucian revival and current PRC demographics; Buddhism in China; Islam west of the Han empire
