On the International Relations Entering a New Era and the Global Sustainable Development

Joint Statement of the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China on the International Relations Entering a New Era and the Global Sustainable Development

February 4, 2022

The Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China, hereinafter referred to as the sides, state as follows.
......................................

The sides share the understanding that democracy is a universal human value, rather than a privilege of a limited number of States, and that its promotion and protection is a common responsibility of the entire world community.
...................................

There is no one-size-fits-all template to guide countries in establishing democracy. A nation can choose such forms and methods of implementing democracy that would best suit its particular state, based on its social and political system, its historical background, traditions and unique cultural characteristics. It is only up to the people of the country to decide whether their State is a democratic one.
...................................

The sides note that democratic principles are implemented at the global level, as well as in administration of State. Certain States' attempts to impose their own ”democratic standards“ on other countries, to monopolize the right to assess the level of compliance with democratic criteria, to draw dividing lines based on the grounds of ideology, including by establishing exclusive blocs and alliances of convenience, prove to be nothing but flouting of democracy and go against the spirit and true values of democracy. Such attempts at hegemony pose serious threats to global and regional peace and stability and undermine the stability of the world order.

The sides believe that the advocacy of democracy and human rights must not be used to put pressure on other countries.

For the United States I vote for the type of Democracy where a small minority of Politicians, Technocrats, and Woke Special Interest Groups impose their will on the majority.

"The people of both countries are certain of the way they have chosen and respect the democratic systems and traditions of other States."

To say about the human rights of our own citizens... just everyone else's. I suppose it is possible that Uyghers aren't seen as human though ...

And we won't mention how China just refuses to acknowledge any other Asian states but China, at least where no one else can hear/see except other Chinese.

a reply to: ketsuko

Familiar with the methods of Western propaganda in relation to my country, I believe that the Uyghurs in China are far better off than what is shown in the hysterical reports of the Western media.

How do you know what the Chinese say to each other? Are you Chinese?

a reply to: turretless

There are sources.

I don't think any person forcibly confined to a camp and denied their religious beliefs is well off in life.

a reply to: turretless

Slavers supporting human rights?

Thats rich.

I already expressed my opinion about the veracity of this in my previous post.

The West tried to blow up not only China, but also Russia through Muslims.

These guys should have their own TV show where they give out advice, it can be called Pooty Pooh and no one can take them seriously since it's obviously a comedy act like this release.

This is not a show, but new rules by which the world will now live.

LOL, okay. Who's the wife in their cute little relationship? I don't think Pooh Bear is going to let Pooty Poot drive.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Their wives will be those who try to ignore these rules.

a reply to: turretless

So, Putin then, what I figured.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Maybe after all, from your erotic fantasies, let's return to discussing the essence of the document.

a reply to: turretless

I am discussing it, it's written by two authoritarian asswipes who couldn't get anyone other than themselves to take them seriously and I even doubt that.

This is just your personal opinion based on nothing.

That's based on no one taking them seriously by listening to this seriously.

Did you mean the People's Republic of China or the Chinese of Taiwan?
