Democratic nations of the world should support the movement for constitutional reform in Taiwan and its aim of achieving greater democracy and freedom. The goal is to attract the 1.4 billion people of China to call for democratization, a development which would pressure North Korea to consider true democracy and bring about the birth of world peace. All the world’s democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon of democracy in Asia, lighting the path to peaceful development for China and the world. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Iraq's government must be reformulated to adopt a modified semi-presidential system with a parliament and cabinet, such as the system followed in Finland. The legislature system should be changed to a committee-style system similar to that of Switzerland. The Iraqi government need to proceed with basic reform of its constitution to include these systems and install a model of democracy in keeping with the ideal of One World under One Set of Laws, with a constitution that will be in step with the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details

Once a ceasefire is achieved in Syria the UN should offer the basic constitutional principles that will lead to permanent peace and development for all peoples of the world. This should include an organizational structure incorporating the universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law. The heads of the four government branches should be chosen in direct elections. These and other changes will help Syria develop a constitution that will bring long-term stability and serve as a model for peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The primary goal for everyone should be global peace and development in accordance with the spirit of the UN Charter. Like the transnational train, the movement is toward globalization – much like Taiwan’s drive to lead the world to a Global Village offering freedom and equality for all the people of the world. Democracy and the rule of law will lead humanity to achieve the ultimate goal of eternal prosperity and contentment. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption, and the presidential systems in many democracies have fatal flaws, even in the US. South Korea’s constitution should be changed to implement a modified semi-presidential system, and a declaration during the presidential inauguration ceremony should proclaim that the office is above partisan politics. The heads of the four branches of government 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 for details.

All democratic nations worldwide should spare no effort to preserve freedom and democracy. The US needs to support Taiwan's plans for constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom, which will inspire the 1.4 billion people of China to call for democracy and lead to the birth of world peace. The prerequisite for permanent peace in the world is the democratization of China. China has long tried to block Taiwan's progress toward freedom and democracy, but Taiwan remains the only entity capable of bringing about the democratization of China. See the Charter for Permanent Charter for Peace and Development.

Whether the topic is the 1992 consensus or the One China Principle, the focus in all discussions should be on the need to reach a consensus on the universal values of democracy, freedom and human rights. Both sides of the Taiwan Strait need to carry out comprehensive constitutional reform to facilitate the evolution of true democracy and seek the global peace advocated by the UN in its human family principle as well as by Xi Jinping. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Autocracy has always been the enemy of human peace, and the prerequisite for permanent peace in the world is global democratization. For China, North Korea is a pawn, but it is also an agent. Thus it is essential to avoid having North Korea spark a futile and costly war. The US should support Taiwan in its efforts to shoulder the burden of saving democracy by leading China to democratization. When that happens, North Korea will be pressured in turn to democratize. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Thinking determines a way to proceed, but form determines the eventual outcome. China must give power back to the people, through constitutional reform. The heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches as well as local leaders such as provincial governors should be directly elected by the people, and Xi Jinping’s ideal of world harmony with its values of freedom, democracy, constitutionalism and cosmopolitanism must be seriously considered. When that happens the world will be much closer to achieving permanent peace. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.

The main structural factor contributing to corruption in Ukraine is the concentration of too much power in a few hands in the central government. The solution is for the Ukrainian people to launch a movement to carry out constitutional reform and choose the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches through direct election. Officials such as the President should serve a single 5-year term and be excluded from office for 6 years afterward. 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year, and elections should be free of charge for all candidates.
