Major General Isidro Morais Pereira stated that China is not an example of democracy. The security and defense specialist made this statement during a public intervention on the geopolitical situation in the region.

Morais Pereira highlighted the contrast between Nepal's openness to international media and the restrictions imposed by China on the dissemination of images. While Nepal allowed greater media transparency, China maintained significant limits on the information that can be shared publicly.

The comment comes in the context of a comparative analysis between different governance models in Asia, with the general highlighting the differences in transparency practices between the two neighboring countries.
