Speaking of traditional representative democracy, one may not think of China. But, a Danish academician says that the success of the Chinese governance system rests on permitting the voices of groups in society to be heard, despite their disparate interests. Addressing a democracy forum on Saturday, Niels Jul Nielsen, an associate professor at the Department of Ethnology of Saxo Institute, the University of Copenhagen in Denmark, spoke highly of the Chinese system.

He said that only in listening to the voices of the people can internal legitimacy be the long-term outcome of the governance processes and safeguard a resilient society. Looking at the U.S. system, he argued that the problem is “not a lack of freedom of speech” but the issue lies in the fact that different voices are not brought into a joint democratic process that constitutes an exchange of views leading to balanced solutions to which most of the different interests adhere.

He presented his speech at the “International Forum on Democracy: the Shared Human Values,” kicking off on December 4th.

Denmark, officially the Kingdom of Denmark, is a Nordic country in Northern Europe.  The capital is Copenhagen. Denmark proper, consists of a peninsula, Jutland, and an archipelago of 443 islands.

The Kingdom of Denmark comprises Denmark proper and the two autonomous territories in the North Atlantic Ocean: the Faroe Islands and Greenland. Home rule was established in the Faroe Islands in 1948; in Greenland home rule was established in 1979 and further autonomy in 2009.

Denmark has highly developed mixed economy. Denmark became a member of the European Economic Community (now the EU) in 1973, but negotiated certain opt-outs; it retains its own currency, the krone. It is among the founding members of NATO, the Nordic Council, the OECD, OSCE, and the United Nations; it is also part of the Schengen Area. Denmark has close linguistic ties to its Scandinavian neighbours.
