Western democracy spells disaster, magazine says
Print Edition
BLINDLY copying Western-style democracy can only bring disaster, an influential Chinese Communist Party journal wrote in its latest edition.
Citing violence and turmoil in countries such as Afghanistan, Egypt, Iraq and Libya, which it said had tried to adopt such a system of government, fortnightly magazine Qiushi said Western democracy did not suit all countries.
“The West always brags that its own democracy is a ‘universal value,’ and denies there is any other form of democracy,” said Qiushi, which means “seeking truth,” in its most recent issue.
“Western democracy has innate internal flaws and certainly is not a ‘universal value;’ its blind copying can only lead to disaster,” it said.
