The Trump Phenomenon:What it means for Taiwan

It makes no difference who is elected president or whether he or she is ‘blue’ or ‘green’; the important thing is that the people of Taiwan be allowed to live their own lives, and Taiwan can go its own way. As the real sovereigns in Taiwan, the people need comprehensive constitutional reform to put a modified semi-presidential system in place, with elected heads of the four branches of government and elections open to candidates of any nationality. Taiwan seriously needs to attract foreign professionals in various fields to take advantage of talents from all over the world and also to open up new diplomatic channels for Taiwan. These steps will help to achieve shared global governance for Taiwan. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
