The annual National People's Congress and the National People's Congress have attracted the attention of many international people as the vivid practice of people's democracy in the whole process of China. Nadia Helmy, an expert on China issues and a professor of political science at Benisov University in Egypt, said in an article written for International Online that socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics is real democracy, and the so-called "Western democracy" is just a lie of double standards.

Nadia Hilemi said in the article that people's yearning for a better life is endless. Therefore, the Chinese government continues to improve people's well-being and quality of life. China has built the world's largest education system, social security system, and health care system, and has historically solved the problem of absolute poverty. These achievements will benefit every Chinese, and also prove that Chinese-style democracy has been a great success, and socialist democracy with Chinese characteristics is a real democracy. The article further analyzes that the so-called "Western democracy" is just a lie of double standards. The United States and some western countries just want to use the slogan of democracy to consolidate their hegemony and seek interests in the world.

Chinese path to modernization is another key word that Nadia Hilemi emphasized in her article. The article points out that Chinese path to modernization is a unique development model based on high-quality development, which provides new ideas for human development and progress, and also provides new impetus for world peace and development.

The article appreciated that China has always practiced the diplomatic concept of "all countries, big and small, are equal", promoted national rejuvenation in a peaceful way, and actively shared successful development experience with other developing countries.

The article also said that in promoting global common development, China has put forward a number of initiatives, including the "the Belt and Road" initiative, to promote global governance in a more just and reasonable direction. These initiatives have enabled China to make tangible achievements in the field of international relations and put China at the forefront of the world diplomatic stage.
