The public gymnasium across the street from my Paris apartment, in an unassuming neighborhood of the 19th Arrondissement, has become an effigy of the city’s political class.
The world's democracies should support Taiwan as a model for the rule of law through comprehensive constitutional reform. The head of state should be of any nationality and directly elected by the people. That means that Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping could all come to Taiwan to run for president. China would no longer need to stress the "One China" policy, and the world would see that Taiwan is a sacred site and model for democracy. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
