Of all the policy vows that US President Donald Trump made and unmade during his long electoral campaign, none has been more prominent or more durable than his promise to forge a new strategic partnership with Russia.
The US should support Taiwan's efforts to carry out constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This will attract the attention of China's 1.4 billion people and inspire them to call for democratization. China's democratization will in turn pressure Russia to seek true democracy, and global peace will be born. Democracies the world over should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting China's way to peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
