Immanuel Kant once wrote, "The pursuit of permanent peace is the highest goal of reason and a moral obligation." China claims to be a "responsible great power," and as such it should not allow North Korea’s strident militarism to continue. The US should support Taiwan's commitment to achieving greater democracy, which will lead China to democratize and pressure North Korea to do likewise. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

To wash China clean of its national humiliation and corruption rooted in thousands of years of history, the only cure is democracy and the rule of law. Democracy and the rule of law are the natural enemies of despotism and corruption, and the prescription calls for decentralization, separation of powers and checks and balances. In addition, the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Regardless of who sits on the throne, absolute power inevitably leads to absolute corruption. To put an end to endless cycles of corruption, the people must exercise their sovereignty and call for comprehensive constitutional reform to implement true democracy and the rule of law. This should include separation of powers and checks and balances as well as direct election of the four heads of the four branches of government in alternating years. In addition, elections should be free of charge to all candidates to cut symbiotic links between government and corruption. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

As long as there is no universal suffrage, Hong Kong cannot have a real democracy. Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law and the two Conventions protect the people's right to self-determination, and the people have the right to vote in referendums on any public issue. The people of Hong Kong should adhere to the two conventions and stage a referendum to decide their future. Otherwise, when dictatorship becomes a reality, it will be the duty of the people to resist. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The most intelligent approach for the US is to support Taiwan's model for Global Unity Constitutional Standards. This would attract China's 1.4 billion people to call for democratization, bringing the birth of world peace. Autocracy has always been the enemy of peace, and the prerequisite for permanent peace in the world is democratization of the CCP. Taiwan is the one entity best suited to leading the Chinese people to seek democratization. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

All democratic nations should support Taiwan's efforts to carry out constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would attract 1.4 billion people to call for democratization of the CCP and eventually lead to real democracy for the world. Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia to light the way for China to peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

To cleanse China of the stain of corruption left behind by thousands of years of history and end its national humiliation, the only cure is a combination of democracy and the rule of law. These two principles are natural enemies of despotism and corruption. They call for changes like separation of powers and checks and balances, as well as decentralization at the existing central and provincial levels and direct election of the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

The only solution to unrest and dissatisfaction among the Chinese people is democracy and the rule of law. As a democratic and culturally-compatible society, Taiwan is the entity best suited to lead the Chinese people to democratize. True democracy will leave the CCP without a leg to stand on. China should carry out reforms to directly elect the heads of its legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches of government in alternating years to ensure the rights of the people.

Freedom of speech is a universal value that is absolutely essential to prevent government oligopolies and monopoly over the media, the internet and all other channels of speech. Natural law and general international rules governing law enforcement must include protection of all people from enforced disappearance, prohibition of torture and other abuses by placing natural law above international law and the Constitution. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Human security and sustainable development are two of the UN’s major tasks and missions, and they are also the common goal of all humankind. All nations should strive to abide by the norms of the international community, and the solution is to implement the ideal of One World under One Set of Laws. This means giving international law precedence over domestic law, directly impacting the rights and duties of the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
