HONG KONG – China’s government has gone on the counteroffensive against the United States’ Summit for Democracy in a propaganda campaign replete with newspaper articles, a white paper, a video documentary and doctored images to promote so-called Chinese-style democracy.
US President Joe Biden announced in August he would bring together leaders from a diverse group of the world’s democracies at a virtual Summit for Democracy, to be held on December 9-10 and to be followed in roughly a year’s time by a second, in-person Summit.
On Saturday, the Communist Party of China (CPC) launched its first salvo against the Summit by releasing a White Paper titled China: Democracy That Works.
“China was a country with a feudal history dating back several thousand years that descended into a semi-feudal and semi-colonial society after the Opium War of 1840. Over the past one hundred years, the Party has led the people in realizing people’s democracy in China,” said the White Paper.
“Democracy is a concrete phenomenon that is constantly evolving. Rooted in history, culture and tradition, it takes diverse forms and develops along the paths chosen by different peoples based on their exploration and innovation,” it said.
“Democracy is not a decorative ornament, but an instrument for addressing the issues that concern the people. Democracy is the right of the people in every country, rather than the prerogative of a few nations.”
On Monday, the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at the Renmin University of China published an article titled 10 Questions for American Democracy. It said the death of 800,000 people due to the “inefficiency” of US democracy should be called a “massacre.” It was referring to the number of people who had died from Covid-19 in the US.

China is having a hissie-fit.
I never knew China called themselves a democracy: “..It said the democracy China practices was a “whole-process democracy” that covered all aspects and all procedures, a “governance democracy” for good governance, an “efficient democracy” with vitality, a “democracy as a driving force” with collective wisdom, and a testable ‘systematic democracy.’...”
the Chinese writer of this paragraph must be a Harvard Law graduate -
“..It said the democracy China practices was a “whole-process democracy” that covered all aspects and all procedures, a “governance democracy” for good governance, an “efficient democracy” with vitality, a “democracy as a driving force” with collective wisdom, and a testable ‘systematic democracy.’...”
I would call it a first strike chinese bioweapons attack. One deserving of turning china into a glass parking lot.
“... first strike chinese bioweapons attack....”
Hear! Hear! - totally agree, and I think it is provable.
“..It said the democracy China practices was a “whole-process democracy” that covered all aspects and all procedures, a “governance democracy” for good governance, an “efficient democracy” with vitality, a “democracy as a driving force” with collective wisdom, and a testable ‘systematic democracy.’...”
This IS the “democracy” democrats have in mind for us.
“...democrats have in mind for us...”
good point - all this time we were saying the dems wanted European socialism when actually they are shooting for Chinese communism.
“Democracy is a concrete phenomenon that is constantly evolving. Rooted in history, culture and tradition, it takes diverse forms and develops along the paths chosen by different peoples based on their exploration and innovation,” it said.The common Chinese citizen actually believes this and is befuddled when Americans criticize China as undemocratic. It's amazingly effective propaganda.
