China News Service, Beijing, December 2 (Reporter Guo Chaokai) Regarding the recent criticism of the so-called "Leaders Democracy Summit" held by the United States by many politicians and media, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference on the 2nd, " The "Democracy Summit" has nothing to do with democracy. It is the reality of undermining democracy in the name of democracy.

　　A reporter asked a question. On December 1, the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the United States’ plan to host the "Leaders’ Democracy Summit," stating that the United States and its allies are not qualified and should not call themselves a "democratic beacon". The United States is unfriendly internationally. The action has caused the outside world to lose trust in it.

The Russian side calls on all countries to stop pursuing the so-called "democratization", refrain from redrawing the line, and take concrete actions to defend the principle of sovereign equality of all countries as stipulated in the UN Charter.

What is China's comment?

　　Wang Wenbin said that China appreciates the relevant position of Russia.

Recently, we have noticed that politicians and media in many countries have criticized the so-called "Leaders' Democracy Summit" organized by the United States.

Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Tun said that the summit was purely for political purposes and was a political manipulation. Thailand should be happy that it was not invited.

Hungarian Foreign Minister Sijardo pointed out that the "democracy summit" has typical characteristics of politics in the United States, and Hungarian democracy does not require anyone to judge.

The media from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Israel and many other countries in the Middle East commented that the "democracy summit" is a tool for the United States to interfere in other countries' internal affairs and maintain hegemony.

American democracy has left nothing of value except sowing the seeds of death and destruction in the Middle East and around the world.

All these circumstances indicate that the United States’ holding of the “democracy summit” is unpopular and has met with widespread opposition from the international community.

　　Wang Wenbin pointed out that the United States has drawn half of the world’s countries and regions into the “democratic camp” according to its own standards, and the other half of the countries are classified as “non-democratic countries”.

This practice itself goes against the spirit of democracy, exposing the true intentions of the United States to instrument and weaponize democracy, promote geostrategy under the guise of democracy, and suppress dissidents.

　　He further pointed out that, for a long time, the United States has infiltrated and subverted sovereign states through government agencies such as the International Development Agency and so-called "NGOs" such as the "National Democracy Foundation" and instigated "color revolutions"; Unilateral sanctions and military interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya and other countries have caused hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths, millions of people injured, and tens of millions of people displaced.

The Americans' division of the world into the two camps of "democracy" and "non-democracy" will only bring more chaos to the world and more disasters to the people of all countries.

　　Wang Wenbin emphasized that, in fact, the "democracy summit" has nothing to do with democracy. It is the reality of undermining democracy in the name of democracy.

In the face of global challenges such as the new crown epidemic, climate change, terrorism, and economic recovery, what the world needs is not a “democratic summit” that provokes division and confrontation, but instead adheres to true multilateralism and strengthens it on the basis of the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. Unite and cooperate to meet common challenges together.
