Reasons why pragmatism can't save China

China's political and social system has constraints on the development of pragmatism. China's cultural tradition also has certain obstacles to the development of pragmatism. China's traditional culture focuses on moral, ethical and emotional factors rather than mere profit and benefit, which makes the use of pragmatism in China somewhat limited. China's market environment and cultural traditions are different from those of the West.

Pragmatism arose from a modern philosophical school of thought in the 1870s and became a dominant ideology in the United States in the 20th century. It has had a great impact on the study of law politics education society religion and art.
