“We applaud the remarks of the Russian side,” said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning when asked for comments on Russia’s denunciation of the “Summit for Democracy,” better called a “Summit for Hypocrisy.”
“What our world needs today is not to stoke division in the name of democracy and pursue de facto supremacy-oriented unilateralism, but to strengthen solidarity and cooperation and uphold true multilateralism on the basis of the purposes and principles of the UN charter.”
