World Bank - Wen Jiabao calls for 'democracy between countries'


Premier Wen Jiabao called this morning for an end to the "existing unfair and irrational international political and economic order". Wen addressed the opening sessions of the World Bank conference on poverty relief in Shanghai.
Part of his proposals included "a new international political and economic order that is fair and rational" and "the right of all peoples to choose their paths and modes of development in the light of their own national conditions". His appeal was during his speech translated as "democracy in international relations, where all countries would join in international rule making". Hmm, also a way to look a democracy, although I always thought it had a different meaning.
