In a recent interview with CGTN Global, Dr. Rasul Baksh Rais, a renowned political science professor from Pakistan, shared his unique perspective on democracy and its diverse manifestations across the world.
Dr. Rais emphasized that \"democracy does not have a single form and that it is not important to measure democracy by Western standards.\" He believes that each nation can shape its own democratic system that aligns with its cultural and societal values.
When discussing the democratic system of the Chinese mainland, Dr. Rais highlighted the importance of understanding democracy in the context of a country's specific historical and social background, rather than through a Western lens.
