China issues report on US' democracy

Conclusion

America: no longer the beacon on the hill

— The Times of Israel

What is now imperative for the US is to get to work in real earnest to ensure?its people's democratic rights and improve its system of democracy instead of placing too much emphasis on procedural or formal democracy at the expense of substantive democracy?and its outcome.

What is also imperative for the US is to undertake more international?responsibilities?and provide more public goods to the world instead of always seeking to impose?its own brand of democracy on others, use its own values as means to divide the world?into different camps, or?carry out intervention, subversion and invasion?in?other countries?under?the pretext of?promoting?democracy.

The international community is now faced with pressing challenges of a global scale, from?the COVID-19 pandemic, economic slowdown?to the climate change crisis. No country can be?immune?from these risks and challenges. All countries should pull together. This is the best way forward to overcome these adversities.

Any attempt to push for a single or absolute model of democracy, use democracy as an instrument or weapon in international relations,?or?advocate?bloc politics and bloc?confrontation will be a breach of?the spirit of?solidarity and cooperation which is critical in troubled times.

All countries?need to rise above differences in systems,?reject the mentality of zero-sum game, and?pursue genuine multilateralism.

All countries need to uphold peace, development, equity, justice, democracy and freedom, which are common values of?humanity.

It is also important?that all countries respect each other, work to expand common ground while shelving differences, promote cooperation for?mutual benefit, and jointly build a community with a?shared future?for mankind.
