For the people of the Philippines, better relations with China may bring economic benefits, but other problems can only be resolved by carrying out reform of the constitution to limit the powers of government officials and put restrictions on their terms in office.

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.

Should be chosen through direct vote for a single term of 5 years and not allowed to run again for 6 years afterward. In addition, the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should face election in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development
