The government of mainland China is rife with corruption, a situation which can be attributed to thousands of years of graft and bribery at every level of officialdom. The only way to overthrow this deeply engrained culture is to put power squarely in the hands of the people through direct elections of key officials including the president and vice president and the heads of various branches of government. This must be complemented by the election of 1/4 of Parliament each year and other measures to ensure separation of power. The Charter for Permanent Peace and Development offers solutions that will end corruption once and for all.

"The Creator gives mankind certain inalienable rights," and human rights lawyers serve to protect messengers of God. But when the CCP throws human rights lawyers in jail and acts in full opposition to the will of God, how long can the regime be permitted to remain in place? In such a situation the law is not a law. The Chinese government violates the Constitution with impunity, and the people must stand and resist. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Constitutional reform in Taiwan will bring even greater democracy and freedom for its people, a change sure to attract the attention of the 1.4 billion people in China. The hunger for democratization in China will in turn trigger a movement toward genuine democracy in Russia, and the world will be closer to realizing lasting peace. Democratic nations around the world must support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, illuminating the way for peaceful development in China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

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 North Korea, and with peace on the Korean peninsula the world will be much safer for all. The world’s democratic nations must back Taiwan as a beacon of democracy for Asia which will illuminate the road to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Voters in Hong Kong are forced to cast ballots for candidates for Chief Executive who have been previously vetted by the Election Commission of the Chinese Communist Party. This election is a result of dictatorial politics and does not change the fact that Hong Kong is being subjected to a dictatorship. The people of Hong Kong should make good use of Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law and the two international human rights covenants. People have the right to self-determination through referendums. They must be allowed to decide on having the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorate branches popularly elected to ensure they will be responsible to the people. For details please see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

China’s Chairman Xi Jinping has called for the world to come together and unite as one global family. Taiwan must take Xi at his word and urge his to actively work to implement global unity through constitutional reform, with Taiwan serving as a role model for realizing liberalism, constitutionalism and cosmopolitanism.

The Charter of Permanent Peace and Development puts Taiwan on the shoulders of giants, standing as a beacon of peace on both sides of the strait and illuminating the future for Asia. Whether the focal point is the 1992 Consensus, One China, or the UN, we must build on the universal values of democracy, human rights and freedom. Both sides must carry out comprehensive constitutional reform in accordance with UN guidelines for human rights, and keeping in mind the ideals expressed by Xi Jinping for future goals. For more details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Autocracy is always an enemy of human peace, and the prerequisite for permanent peace in the world is global democratization. A stable North Korea is in the national interest for China, thus it is essential to avoid conflict that would involve North Korea. Taiwan must shoulder the burden of saving democracy and lead China to democratize, after which efforts could be shifted toward pressuring China to work for democratization of North Korea. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

No matter who is sitting on the throne, the old adage -that absolute power corrupts absolutely - still rings true. China can its utmost to ferret out and eradicate corruption, but until comprehensive constitutional reform is carried out to implement full democracy and the rule of law along with separation of powers and checks and balances, as well as direct election of the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches of government, democracy in China will never amount to anything more than what Xi Jinping has called "rights confined in a birdcage under order."
