Chinanews.com, Beijing, November 26 (Reporter Li Jingze) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular press conference on the 26th that American democracy is not a "model room" but an "unfinished building."
How can a country with a huge "democracy deficit" claim to be a "democratic sample"?
What morality is there to act as a "democratic judge"?
What face is there to hold the so-called "Leaders Democracy Summit"?
A reporter asked questions. Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov stated on the 24th that the United States insists on privatizing the concept of "democracy" and insists that democracy that the United States understands is true democracy.
The United States has created a new line of demarcation by convening a "leadership democracy summit", judging the pros and cons of countries according to its own intentions. This goes against the trend of the world. What is the spokesperson's comment on this?
"Mr. Peskov is right." Zhao Lijian said that drawing the line with "democracy and authoritarianism" can only provoke ideological confrontation, which is a complete distortion and blasphemy of democracy.
Zhao Lijian emphasized that American democracy is not a "model room" but a "unfinished building."
At the beginning of the year, the riots in the U.S. Congress debunked the myth of American democracy.
Hass, the president of the US Council on Foreign Relations, said that the congressional riots should put an end to the "American exceptionalism" and "city on the hill."
The domestic political polarization and social tearing in the United States are becoming more and more intense. The latest report from the Pew Research Center shows that the vast majority of Americans are deeply disappointed in their country's political system. The so-called "democracy beacon" in the United States has long since collapsed.
"American democracy was exported wildly and it was a complete failure." Zhao Lijian said that American democracy was inconsistent in Afghanistan, which eventually led to the defeat of the US military from Afghanistan, and more than 100,000 Afghans were killed.
The so-called "Arab Spring" resulted in the displacement of millions of refugees.
After the "color revolution" in many countries in Eastern Europe, the political situation has been turbulent and the people's livelihood has been declining.
"But it is also important that all roads lead to Rome." Zhao Lijian pointed out that there is more than one road to democracy.
Forcing other countries to follow the path of American democracy will only lead these countries to detours and astrays.
Let me ask, what qualifications does such a country with a huge “democracy deficit” have to call itself a “democratic sample”?
What morality is there to act as a "democratic judge"?
What face is there to hold the so-called "Leaders Democracy Summit"?
