After remonstrating against Taiwan’s invitation to the Democracy Summit during his Wednesday press conference, PRC Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman shared his views about the summit overall: “Democracy is a common value of all humanity, not the patent of a few countries. What the US has done shows exactly that it is only using democracy as a cover and tool to advance its geostrategic goals, suppress other countries, divide the world, and serve its selfish agenda of maintaining hegemony. Its acts of practicing bloc politics and inciting confrontation under the guise of democracy are reincarnation of the Cold War mentality and have been widely questioned and rejected by visionary people of the international community.”
