You guys should be open to critism and keep improving.
You talk about being open to criticism.
I criticise decisions made and actions taken by my government if i think they are wrong,openly(they cant).
There is no need to put down another to have confidence in your own system
A reaction to an action,
I never claimed the American system to be good or the best,infact i only see some Western European to be ok,not good just ok.
My reaction was to the Chinese members naming the flaws of the American system which is not seen as théé Western system by the rest of the Western world,nobody even likes the outdated American system.
The Chinese system is worse(as explained before).
Mind you I don't agree with Communism but I also don't believe in Western democracy.
For me it depends on the population,some people fare better under communism,some in democracy and some with an authoritarian regime.
As an example i take my country Türkiye.
Democracy caused a populist in power which shows that it is not the way forward for my country.
Why do you think the majority in the West had a chance to get more populist benefits? It was because the threat of Communism, the elites had to give up power.
I disagree,it had nothing to do with the threat of Communism.
It all started after the terror atacks in the Western world.
Populist parties got more support because of these events,there was someone to blame.
The same goes for Muslim populists(blame the West),Eastern European populists(blame the EU) etc.
To conclude,
Take a look at yourself before judging others.
