agree  chica nueva: rule by virtue (跟 'rule by law'相比?) you can leave out state or country - more context would be helpful.In texts sentences often come in pairs 对比, do you agree?

Explanation:
In respond to Willwong’s given website, very interesting site but didn’t find anything demonstrate ‘chingish’.

IMHO – country should be omitted. It’s understood among native speakers.

For examples:
China promotes (good) governance by moral values.
China called for moral-based governance style.
China advocates virtue-based governance.
