The Chief Executive of Hong Kong is still elected from a slate of candidates vetted by the CEC. This is merely another form of dictatorship.

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.

Democracies the world over should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the way to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Countries beset by famine must carry out constitutional reform and assign international law priority over domestic law.

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The presidential system of democracy has a number of flaws and even the US sometimes faces problems. Taiwan’s situation is serious but impeachment is not an option. South Korea's constitution should be reform to adopt 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 lawmakers should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
From the row over officers jailed for beating up a protester have come calls to criminalise insults against police. Such laws are not without precedent

Elect the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years and have 1/4 of all MPs face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
