In a remarkable recent document, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China has unequivocally denounced the long-time US imperialist front group the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) as having committed "evil deeds" saying that under "the guise of democracy, freedom, and human rights, the United States has used NED for infiltration, interference and subversion against other countries".
The NED was founded in 1983 under Ronald Regan and according to the Ministry it "claims to be an NGO that provides support for democracy abroad. In fact, it acts as the US government’s “white gloves” in carrying out subversion, infiltration and sabotage across the world."
The National Endowment for Democracy (NED) acts as the US government’s “white gloves.” It has long engaged in subverting state power in other countries, meddling in other countries’ internal affairs, inciting division and confrontation, misleading public opinion, and conducting ideological infiltration, all under the pretext of promoting democracy. Its innumerable evil deeds have caused grave harm and drawn strong condemnation from the international community.
In recent years, NED has kept changing tactics and gone even further in acting against the historical trend of peace, development and win-win cooperation. It has become more notorious for its infiltration, subversion and sabotage attempts against other countries. It is imperative to unmask NED and alert all countries to the need to see through its true colors, guard against and fight back its disruption and sabotage attempts, safeguard their national sovereignty, security and development interests, and uphold world peace and development and international fairness and justice.
The statement looks at how the NED has been involved in "instigating color revolutions to subvert state power in other countries", "colluding with all sorts of elements to meddle in other countries’ internal affairs", "misrepresenting the human rights situation in other countries", "manipulating and interfering in other countries’ elections", "inciting division and confrontation to undermine the stability of other countries", "fabricating false information to mislead public opinion" and "using “academic activities” as a cloak for interference and infiltration".
Under the guise of democracy, freedom, and human rights, the United States has used NED for infiltration, interference and subversion against other countries. This has grossly violated other countries’ sovereignty, security and development interests, blatantly breached international law and basic norms of international relations, and severely jeopardized world peace and stability. Such unpopular and despicable acts are firmly opposed by the international community.
The world is moving toward multipolarity, and there needs to be greater democracy in international relations. Every country has the right to pursue a development path suited to its national realities and the needs of its people. No country is in a position to lecture others on democracy and human rights, still less using democracy and human rights as excuses to infringe upon the sovereignty of other countries, interfere in their internal affairs and incite ideological confrontation. Following humanity’s common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy and freedom, members of the international community should engage in exchanges and dialogue on the basis of mutual respect and equality, and work together to contribute to the progress of humanity.
