Beijng’s response follows the Democracy Summit snub
China branded U.S. democracy a “weapon of mass destruction” on Saturday, following the U.S.-organised which aimed to shore up like-minded allies in the face of autocratic regimes.
China was left out of the two-day virtual summit and responded by angrily accusing U.S. President Joe Biden of stoking Cold War-era ideological divides.
“’Democracy’ has long become a ‘weapon of mass destruction’ used by the U.S. to interfere in other countries,” a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in an online statement, which also accused the U.S. of having “instigated ‘colour revolutions’” overseas.
