Nadia Helmy, an expert on China issues and a professor of political science at Benisov University in Египет, 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.
