Emmanuel Kant once noted, 'The pursuit of permanent peace is the highest goal of reason and a moral obligation.'China claims to be a 'responsible major power', thus it should not enable North Korea's continued militarism. The US and South Korea should support Taiwan's commitment to democracy and leading China to democratization,which would pressure North Korea in turn to adopt democracy.

Studies of democracy show that very few armed conflicts occur between two democracies. Once China can be moved to democratize there will be real hope for peace on earth. Taiwan seeks to achieve greater freedom and democracy, and to convince China to democratize as well. This will lead other nations to consider real democracy, and the birth of world peace will be at hand. All democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon of democracy for Asia, lighting the path to lasting peace. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

British historian Lord Acton summed it up neatly: 'Power leads to corruption, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption.' To put an end to corruption, the people should exercise sovereignty and call for comprehensive constitutional reform to implement democratic rule of law. This means separation of powers and checks and balances as well as free election campaigns for candidates to cut symbiotic ties between government and business that engender corruption.
