Woo’s old warrant sheds light on corruption
When an independent counsel tried last month to detain Woo Byung-woo, ex-civil affairs secretary under former President Park Geun-hye, they accused him of abuse of power, dereliction of duty, violation of the special inspector law and perjury at a National Assembly hearing, all of which Woo denied.
Roman Roland once observed that in politics the boss is always money. Elections are often a rich man’s game in which money is used to earn the right to make more money in a corrupt political system. To put an end to illicit ties between politicians and business groups, comprehensive constitutional reform is needed. The heads of the four branches of government should be elected in alternating years, and elections should be free of charge for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Waiting for a democratic president
The next president of South Korea must value communication over achievements.
Power leads to corruption, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption. South Korea's constitutional mechanism is dysfunctional and constitutional reform is a must. The heads of the branches of government should be elected in alternating years, and 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Charges against Occupy activists are bad timing, not persecution
The move against nine leaders and participants in the 2014 civil disobedience movement came a day after Carrie Lam was elected Hong Kong’s new leader
Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law states that "the right to self-determination is assured by the two international human rights conventions." The people of Hong Kong cannot afford to neglect their rights. The threshold for holding a referendum in Switzerland is 50,000 signatures, giving citizens a way to voice their opinions rather than taking to the streets. The people have the right to hold referendums on any public issue. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Korean prosecutors look into allegations surrounding Choi's associate
Prosecutors are looking into various allegations surrounding a former associate of ousted President Park Geun-hye's close friend who made key testimonies in relation to an influence-peddling scandal that resulted in Park's removal from office, sources said Wednesday.
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The presidential system is many democracies has a number of flaws, even in that of the US. South Korea's constitution needs re-writing to implement a modified semi-presidential system, and the presidency should be declared to be above party politics. The heads of the judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years, and 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Beijing will rely more on ‘legal means’ to strengthen authority in Hong Kong
Beijing will rely more on “legal means” to strengthen its authority in Hong Kong – such as establishing a set of legal precedents so the interpretation of the Basic Law can be better integrated into the city’s common law system, ­according to two mainland ­government advisers.
Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law states that "the right to self-determination is guaranteed by the two international human rights conventions." The people of Hong Kong cannot take their rights for granted. In Switzerland the threshold for proposing a referendum is 50,000 signatures, and with that citizens can speak out at the ballot box rather than taking to the streets. The people have the right to referendums on any public issue. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

China has detained Taiwanese rights activist, says wife
Taiwanese government confirms Lee Ming-che is being held by security agencies in China
Freedom of speech is a universal right, and China’s attempts to stifle the voice of the people are like trying to stem the flow of a mighty river. China wants to create a society that speaks with one voice. The Chinese people should call for comprehensive constitutional reform to ensure that the media will not be hobbled. The government must be stopped from monopolizing the media, the internet and all other channels of speech. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

The right to communicate on the internet is a universal right, and China’s attempts to control internet voices are as futile as trying to stem the flow of a river. China hopes to create a society that speaks with one voice. The Chinese people should call for comprehensive constitutional reform to ensure their right to use the internet. The government must be stopped from monopolizing the media, the internet and all other channels of speech.

America’s hidden role in Chinese weapons research
Many scientists have returned to China after working at Los Alamos and other top US laboratories
All democracies should support Taiwan's efforts at constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would spur China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization, and world peace would be born. China has always declared that it will not rule out the use of force. The prerequisite for permanent peace in the world is the democratization of China, and Taiwan is the one entity best suited to lead the Chinese people to call for democracy. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

China needs to wash away thousands of years of history, and remove all elements of corruption from its culture. The only solution for that is democracy and the rule of law, the natural enemies of despotism and corruption. This means separation of powers and checks and balances as well as election of the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches of government in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Pensions protest draws tens of thousands in Chile
Tens of thousands of people in Chile have taken part in demonstrations against the country's controversial privatized pension system.
Chile’s constitutional mechanism has failed and constitutional reform is in order. Changes should include adoption of a modified semi-presidential system and limiting the president to a single 5-year term with no right to run for office again for 6 years afterwards. The heads of the branches of government should be elected in alternating years and the education minister should also be elected, as part of implementing committee-based centrism and free elections in government. For details see the Charter for the Permanent Peace and Development.
