“The conception of global democracy is a fascinating topic. How can we comprehend the conception of global democracy in other countries? How do traditional Chinese cultural values play a role in conceptualizing global democracy? I believe the Cairo workshop will provide a good opportunity to exchange our ideas and surely increase my understanding of global democracy.”
