Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng: A Certain Country Claims It is Putting Together the "Democracy Summit" for Democracy but This is in Fact the Very Opposite of Democracy

On December 2, 2021, Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng pointed out while attending "No. 7A Salon - A Dialogue on Democracy" that a very few countries are using democracy as a cover: they twist its essence, and willfully set its standards. They even take democracy as a political tool for selfish gains, and build small blocs to create division and confrontation in the world. This obviously runs against the spirit of democracy.

Le Yucheng emphasized that currently, our world is going through a pandemic and changes unseen in a century. Humanity faces unprecedented risks and challenges. Now more than ever, the world needs to come together and respond collectively. A certain country is putting together the so-called "democracy summit" as self-styled "leader of democracy". It divides countries into different levels of a hierarchy, labels them as "democratic" or "undemocratic", and points fingers at other countries' democratic systems. It claims it is doing this for democracy. But this is in fact the very opposite of democracy. It will do no good to global solidarity and cooperation or promote global development.
