As a Chinese journalist, you may have your own definition of democracy which corresponds to your history and your way of seeing the world.
I wonder what his definition of democracy is, and to what history and what seeing the world it corresponds.
Has he graduated from the kindergarten already?

Update. The editor is now saying he was misquoted by the Chinese agency. His point was milder, but still along the same lines.

Democracy in one sense means the majority decides, but it also means the rights of the minority are protected. As UK late Prime Minister Winston Churchill said, democracy is the least bad system that we have ever thught of. So democracy is never perfect. It always has problems. Our democracy here in the US has many contradictions, problems and challenges. So democracy is not a cure that could turn everything bad into good. It has its own advantages and its disadvantages.
