China News Service, Beijing, December 7 (Reporter Xing Chong) At a regular press conference on the 7th, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian once again criticized the so-called "democracy summit" organized by the United States.

He replied: How can a country like the United States that ignores democracy have the right to hold a summit in the name of "democracy"?

  Zhao Lijian said that the US claims that the so-called "democracy summit" is to "defend" democracy. May I ask the United States has the world's richest and most advanced medical resources and technology, but more than 800,000 people have died from the new crown pneumonia epidemic in China, and there are nearly 5000 Ten thousand people are suffering, and these two figures are the world's largest. Such a human rights tragedy happened in the United States. Is this also defending democracy?

  Zhao Lijian said that racism in the United States is deeply rooted and white supremacy is rampant. There is no democratic equality at all. Is this also defending democracy?

  Zhao Lijian said that since 2001, the U.S. military has launched wars and military operations in Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Syria and other countries, causing hundreds of thousands of lives to be lost and tens of millions of people displaced. It is notorious. Is this also defending democracy?

  As an example, Zhao Lijian said that related surveys and reports show that 45% of Americans believe that their country’s democracy is malfunctioning, 52% of young Americans believe that American democracy has long failed, and 81% of Americans believe that American democracy faces serious domestic threats, only 17%. Of Americans believe that American "democracy" is worthy of emulation.

44% of the world’s people regard the United States as the greatest threat to global democracy. What is the qualification for a country like the United States that ignores democracy to hold a summit in the name of "democracy"?
