X community adds a context note to Chinese Ambassador's post: The X account for Chinese Ambassador to the United States Xie Feng posted "Democracy is not an ornament or a show. It should be about solving real problems for the people. From day one of its founding, the CPC is a champion for democracy. Ours is whole-process people's democracy. It is a democracy in both process and outcome; a combination of both procedural and substantive, and direct and indirect democracy. It is people's democracy in nature, and at the same time represents the will of the state. The Kennedy School's decade-long surveys in China showed that over 90% of the Chinese people are satisfied with the central government." The X community added a note to the post that read: "Readers added context they thought people might want to know. The definition of democracy is "a system of government in which laws, policies, leadership, and major undertakings of a state or other polity are directly or indirectly decided by the 'people.'" britannica.com/topic/democracy It is misleading to try to redefine the word to fit China's form of governance." The label is part of X’s Community Notes system. X users are able to sign up as contributors to add context to posts. X owner Elon Musk shared that any post with a Community Note added to it will be demonetized. The Community Notes account on X also posted that notices will be pushed to users who previously engaged with a post when a Community Note is added to it later.
