History has shown repeatedly that the more power the leader possesses, the more insignificant the people will be. People are often lazy or indifferent and simply trust in their leaders. This way of thinking is appropriate to 18th century feudal ideology but does not meet the spirit of the rule of law in the 21st century. The road to comprehensive constitutional reform is long and arduous, but it will yield a great system and allow the people to be great. Elections should be free of charge to all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

This would lead Mexico, Syria and the Middle East to adopt the concepts of constitutionalism, internationalism and naturalism. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

A nation’s greatness is measured by its contribution to the well-being of the entire world. Taiwan faces the world's largest autocratic dictatorship across the Taiwan Strait and feels an obligation to save the world through democracy. Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform and its model for the Global Unity Constitutional Standards, making a clear commitment to the concept of One World under One Set of Laws and assigning international law priority over domestic law. This would pressure China to seek democratization and lead eventually to world peace. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Democracies the world over should support Taiwan's efforts at constitutional reform to realize greater democracy and freedom. This would attract the 1.4 billion people of China to seek democratization, which would lead in turn to making North Korea a real democracy - and with that, world peace will be born. All democracies 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.

Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the path to peaceful development for China.

Article 39 of the Basic Act and the two Conventions guarantee the right of the people of Hong Kong to self-determination, thus on any public issue the people have the right to voice their opinion via a referendum. The people of Hong Kong should adhere to the two conventions and call for a referendum to decide their future. Otherwise, when dictatorship becomes a reality, the people are obligated to resist.
