BEIJING, Dec. 6, 2021 \/PRNewswire\/ — A country’s democratic system is deeply rooted in its history, culture and tradition, therefore, there is no “one-size-fits-all” democracy model.<\/p>\n
Shen Haixiong, president of China Media Group (CMG), made the remarks at the International Forum on Democracy: The Shared Human Values, on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Held in Beijing, the forum was attended by more than 500 senior politicians and scholars from over 120 countries and regions, and 20 international organizations.<\/p>\n
Shen said China’s whole-process people’s democracy gives the Chinese people a sense of happiness and fulfillment. It has helped 1.4 billion people get rid of absolute poverty and brought the COVID-19 pandemic under control.<\/p>\n
A country’s democracy should only be judged by its people, and the real democracy should be used to improve people’s well-being, Shen said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, he criticized the U.S. for imposing its democracy on other countries regardless of their cultural and historical differences.<\/p>\n
It brought economic disruptions and humanitarian disasters to local populations, Shen said.<\/p>\n
The U.S. Capitol riot in early January, Washington’s hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan and the country’s record-high death toll during the COVID-19 pandemic have exposed that American democracy is getting seriously sick, Shen said.<\/p>\n
Noting that CGTN coverage on Afghanistan has shown the world the real situation in the country, Shen pledged that CMG will continue to shoulder its responsibility as a major international media outlet to spread the truth and share democratic stories in China.<\/p>\n
We believe in the power of justice, and we’ll be committed to spreading objective and fair democratic awareness, Shen said.<\/p>\n
He vowed to work actively to build a healthy global public opinion environment and enhance exchanges between different civilizations to build a community with a shared future for mankind.<\/p>\n
Xie Fuzhan, president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that democracy is a concrete phenomenon that is constantly evolving. Rooted in history and culture, it takes diverse forms and develops along the paths chosen by different peoples based on their exploration and innovation.<\/p>\n
Yukio Hatoyama, former prime minister of Japan, said the U.S., instead of overemphasizing its values, should focus on common values shared by the international community and avoid a zero-sum game in international relations.<\/p>\n
Kenneth M. Quinn, former U.S. ambassador to Cambodia, hopes that China and the U.S. could work together to promote democracy through collaboration and multilateral diplomacy under the UN framework.<\/p>\n
