The State of Democracy in the United States: 2022

IV. Conclusion

Democracy is humanity's?common value; however, there is no single model of political system that is applicable to all countries in the world. Human civilization, if compared to a garden, should be a diverse place in which democracy in different countries blooms like a hundred flowers.?The US?has American-style democracy, China has Chinese-style democracy, and other countries?have their?own unique models?of democracy that suit?their respective?national conditions. It should be up to the people of a country to judge whether the?country is democratic or not and how to better promote democracy?in their country. The few self-righteous countries have no right to point fingers.

Those who have many flaws themselves have little credibility to lecture others. Attempts to undermine others for one's own profit and destabilize the world must be unanimously opposed. A black-and-white division of countries as democratic?or?authoritarian is both anachronistic and arbitrary. What?our world needs today is not to stoke?division in the name of democracy and?pursue de facto supremacy-oriented?unilateralism, but to strengthen solidarity and cooperation and uphold true multilateralism?on the basis of the purposes and principles of the UN Charter. What?our world needs today is not?to interfere in other countries'?internal affairs under the guise of democracy, but to advocate genuine democracy, reject?pseudo-democracy and jointly promote?greater democracy in international relations. What?our world needs today is not a "Summit for Democracy" that hypes up?confrontation and contributes nothing to the collective response to global challenges, but a conference of solidarity that focuses on taking real actions to solve prominent global challenges.

Freedom, democracy and human rights are the common pursuit of humanity,?and values that the Communist Party of China?(CPC) always pursues. China commits?to and advances?whole-process?people's democracy, and?puts into action the principle of people running the?country in the CPC's exercise of national governance in specific and concrete ways. China?stands ready?to strengthen exchanges and mutual learning with other countries on the issue of democracy, advocate?humanity's common values of peace, development, equity, justice, democracy and freedom, promote greater democracy in international relations, and make new and greater contributions to?human progress.
