All democratic countries should support the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development in Taiwan; and the democratic movement in Taiwan will then lead to democratization in China, followed by Russia

Taiwan must move to bring about constitutional reform and true freedom and democracy. Doing so will set off a drive for democratization among the 1.4 billion people of China. This will then spread to Russia, and with peace in Russia the world will be much safer for all. The world’s democratic nations must back Taiwan as a beacon for democracy for Asia which will light the road to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
