“Since the summit [Copenhagen Democracy Summit] is held in the name of democracy, I want to add a few things. Democracy is a common value pursued by all mankind, but there are various ways to realize it. And the democratic system of a country can only be determined by its own people. China practices a socialist democratic system, which has conformed to China's national conditions and has won wide support from its people. Take the handling of COVID-19 for example. The Chinese government rolled out the most 'hardcore' epidemic prevention and control measures, which turned out to have successfully curbed the virus spread and made China the first country to resume normal life. According to media reports, Chinese people's trust in the government reached 98 percent after the epidemic. By that, you can see what democracy looks like in China - it brings people joy and satisfaction. After 70 years of continuous efforts, the 1.4 billion Chinese people have all been lifted out of absolute poverty and I believe that ensuring its people have food to eat, houses to live in, and schools to attend, count as real democracy.”
