In response to the US initiative to hold the "leading the people summit", foreign ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin pointed out on the 19th that democracy is not a slogan, nor a dogma, nor a pretext for pursuing hegemony. What the world urgently needs today is not to hold the so-called "democracy summit", but to abide by the norms of international relations based on the Charter of the United Nations and strengthen global coordination and cooperation. If we stir up estrangement and division and incite confrontation under the banner of democracy, it will be resisted and opposed by the international community. At the regular press conference on the same day, a reporter asked: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently said that the United States is bound to invite self identified democratic countries to divide the international community into enemy and self camps with the cold war thinking. What is China's comment on this? "I have taken note of relevant reports and think Foreign Minister Lavrov's remarks are very reasonable," Wang Wenbin said. Wang Wenbin pointed out—— Democracy is not a slogan. We should not use the aura of "democracy" to cover up the problems in our own governance, and allow our people to pay a heavy price because of racial discrimination, social tear, polarization between the rich and the poor, etc. Democracy is not dogma. Regardless of the great differences in the history, culture, social systems and development stages of countries all over the world, we should not try to turn democracy into Coca Cola. One country produces the original pulp and the world tastes the same, depriving countries of their right and freedom to explore their own democratic path. Democracy is not a pretext for pursuing hegemony. Under the banner of democracy, ideology and values should not be used as a tool to suppress other countries and promote geo strategy, incite division and confrontation in the world and push the world back to the dangerous Cold War era. Wang Wenbin said that what the world urgently needs today is not to hold the so-called "democratic summit" or establish an "alliance of democratic countries", but to abide by the norms of international relations based on the Charter of the United Nations, strengthen global coordination and cooperation, work together to deal with global challenges such as epidemic and climate change, and jointly promote the cause of human progress. "If we stir up estrangement and division and incite confrontation under the banner of democracy, it will trample on and betray the spirit and value of democracy. It will only bring turbulence and chaos to the world and undermine human peace and development. This will be resisted and opposed by the international community," he said. (outlook new era)
