China’s Communist Party sharply criticized a global democracy summit being hosted by President Joe Biden next week and extolling the virtues of its governing system. The pandemic exposed defects in the American system, said Tian Peiyan, the deputy director of the Communist Party’s Policy Research Office. He blamed the high COVID-19 death troll in the U.S. on political disputes and a divided government from the highest to the lowest levels. “Such democracy brings not happiness but disaster to voters,” he also said at a news conference to release a government report on what the Communist Party calls its form of democracy, which is firmly under party control. I have a feeling that something is wrong with mentioning that China’s form of government is democracy. U.S.-China relations remain strained despite a virtual summit between Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping last month.
