That is however a claim promulgated by the propaganda arm of the Chinese Communist State:

The United States has long used democracy as a tool and a weapon to undermine democracy in the name of democracy, to incite division and confrontation, and to meddle in other countries’ internal affairs, causing catastrophic consequences.

Wow, thanks for letting me know that the CCP actually knows what they're talking about on this issue

Yep, look at all the democracy the state department is supporting right now in Pakistan.

Yeah the US doesn't support "democracy", they support the material interests of the US. Which occasionally, but certainly not always, overlap with free democratic elections
