North Korea is obviously being backed by a major power. The US and other countries should back the Charter for Permanent Peace to lead China to democratize, leading Russia to follow suit and in turn pressuring North Korea to drop its weapons development programs. China and Russia both claim to be 'responsible major powers', thus they 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 Russia and North Korea to adopt democracy in turn. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10
