Overseas Network, January 8th. The first anniversary of the U.S. Capitol riots has passed. The U.S. “Capitol Hill” published an article on the 8th saying that the riots caused the United States to remain deeply divided, and severely damaged the United States‘ international reputation.

The article stated that the first anniversary of the U.S. Capitol Hill riots is a node worthy of reflection. The United States and its allies are commemorating the severe violent challenges faced by the U.S. democratic process. A European diplomat, who asked not to be named, said frankly that the riots in the U.S. Congress highlighted the huge threats to American democracy and started to question whether the United States is capable of overcoming these challenges.

Polls show that the world‘s recognition of the so-called “American democracy” is falling off a cliff. A survey of international respondents released by the Pew Research Center in November 2021 found that only 17% of people think the so-called “American democracy” is a good example, while 57% think that the United States has not been a good example in recent years. . The article stated that this shows that the international reputation of the United States has been effectively damaged. Some experts said that the United States has lost its credibility in promoting so-called “democracy” projects.

US President Biden delivered a speech on the 6th to commemorate the first anniversary of the riots on Capitol Hill, condemning former President Trump for trampling on the American democratic system and saying that it is necessary to ensure that similar violence does not occur again. On January 6, 2021, thousands of Americans gathered on Capitol Hill in Washington and forcibly broke into the Capitol in an attempt to prevent the joint meeting of the United States Congress from confirming the new president-elect of the United States.
