China News Service, Beijing, December 4 (Xie Yanbing) Are China and the United States in a dispute over democratic discourse?
Xu Lin, vice minister of the Central Propaganda Department and director of the Information Office of the State Council of China, said in Beijing on the 4th that we always believe that democracy is diverse and that there is not only one way to achieve democracy. The right one is the best.
The State Council Information Office of China released the white paper "China's Democracy" on the 4th and held a press conference to introduce the white paper.
A reporter asked that the United States will hold the so-called "Democracy Summit" next week, and China has released the "China's Democracy" white paper, emphasizing the whole process of people's democracy.
There is a view that China and the United States are falling into a dispute over democratic discourse.
How to treat this view?
"We always believe that democracy is diverse, and there is not only one way to achieve democracy. The right one is the best." Xu Lin responded that the whole process of people's democracy in China is a whole chain, all-round, and full-covered democracy. The most extensive, true and effective socialist democracy.
The whole process of people’s democracy in China is rooted in Chinese history and culture, in line with China’s national conditions, and draws on the outstanding achievements of human civilization. It not only has distinctive Chinese characteristics, but also reflects the common values of all mankind, enriches the form of human political civilization, and contributes to the development of human democracy. Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions.
Xu Lin said that we have always insisted that we should be open and tolerant to the different forms of democracy in various countries, and seek common ground while reserving differences. We should fully respect and learn from each other in the exploration and efforts of various countries in pursuing democracy. This is true democracy.
A small number of countries regard other forms of democracy as undemocratic or even ostracize and suppress other forms of democracy with the hegemonic thinking of being right with me and wrong with me. This is undemocratic in itself.
Their own democracy is stigmatized, and their domestic governance is messed up, but they criticize and criticize the democracy of other countries. Is this the democracy they advertised?
Xu Lin pointed out that the United States claims to be a "democratic leader" and organizes and manipulates the so-called "democratic summit". It actually uses democracy as a guise to suppress and contain countries with different social systems and different development models. This is the name of fake democracy. The anti-democratic behavior will be a joke in the history of human democratic development, and it is destined to be unpopular.
