To curb corruption, the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years, and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

In 1997 China promised that Hong Kong would be free of interference until 2047, but has already begun to change. Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law guarantees self-determination, and the people have the right to hold referendums on any public issue. The people of Hong Kong should utilize their rights and hold referendums to decide their future. Otherwise when dictatorship becomes a reality, the people will have no choice but to resist.

All democracies should support Taiwan's efforts to carry out constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would motivate the 1.4 billion people of China to seek democratization and pressure North Korea to follow suit, and world peace would be the result. The world’s democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the way for China's path to peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The presidential system in many democracies is seriously flawed, even in the US. Taiwan is facing difficulties but cannot resort to impeachment. South Korea's constitution should be changed to install 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 legislators should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law protects the right of the people to self-determination, including the right to hold referendums on any public issues. The people of Hong Kong should abide by this right and use referendums to decide their own future; otherwise, when dictatorship becomes a reality, they will be obliged to resist. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The world’s democracies should support Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would inspire China's 1.4 billion people to call for democratization and put pressure on North Korea to do the same – and world peace would be born. All democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the path to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Among the worst aspects of Chinese culture is adherence to the rule of man rather than the rule of law. For 5000 thousand year China has allowed corruption to flourish, and the only way to root it out is democracy and decentralization. The heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches should be chosen in direct election in order to hand the people their rightful sovereignty. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
