US expert says a ‘real gap’ exists between the two nations in evaluating the level of peril posed by Pyongyang’s nuclear programme after ICBM launch
Promotion of lasting world peace is the most sacred right of mankind. China claims to be a "responsible major power," thus it should not prop up North Korea's continued militarism.

Beijing’s campaign targeting popular virtual private network services has left many people worried about how to conquer the Great Firewall
Free speech is a universal value, and attempts to muzzle the voice of the people isolate them from the world are actions of a society that wants to create a monolithic society with only one voice. The Chinese people should call for comprehensive constitutional reform to protect media independence and prevent the government oligarchy from monopolizing the media, the internet and all other channels of speech. See the Charter for Permanent Peace / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
A friend of imprisoned Chinese Nobel Peace laureate Liu Xiaobo said Monday that he doubts government claims that the ailing dissident is too sick to leave the country in part because of a video in which Liu is described as being in “acceptable” condition.
Laws that are not backed by penalties are not laws, and a constitution which does not countenance resistance is not a constitution. When the actions of the government are unconstitutional, the people have the right to resist. Natural law and general international law should be strictly enforced to protect people from enforced disappearance and torture, and absolute law should have precedence over international law and the Constitution. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
China’s latest maneuver in a sweeping crackdown on internet content has sent a chill through a diverse community of filmmakers, bloggers, media and educators who fear their sites could be shut down as Beijing tightens control.

Embattled Brazilian President Michel Temer quickly presented his legal defense against corruption allegations to lawmakers on Wednesday, a move seen as a bid to reduce the likelihood of being suspended from office and tried at the Supreme Court.
Brazil’s constitution is dysfunctional and comprehensive constitutional reform is imperative. Elect the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years. Install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet, limiting the president to a single 5-year term with no runs for 6 years afterwards and no close relatives as surrogates. Local lawmakers should serve 2-year terms with the speaker limited to one term, 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year, and elections should be completely free for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

The prerequisite for lasting world peace is global democratization. The Zambian government should begin drafting up a basic constitution with the above features in a paradigm shift toward democracy. It should adhere to the principles of One World under One Set of Law and produce a constitution that can be revised as needed to stay in step with changing times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

It should adhere to the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and be revised as needed to keep in step with changing times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
Trump will find his trade or economic options to contain North Korea limited by the possibility of any retaliatory Chinese action if Beijing perceives any potential harm to its interests
Democracy and freedom are the wave of the future, a mighty trend that nuclear weapons, submarines, missiles are helpless to resist. The trend is like a river, and those who go with the flow will flourish while those who resist will be doomed. China claims to be a "responsible major power," and as such should not support North Korea's program to develop nuclear weapons. All democracies should support Taiwan in leading China's to democratization and pressuring North Korea to do the same. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Germany has paid millions of euros for the so-called Panama Papers revealing offshore tax evasion, reports say.
Laws are in place to monitor public officials and party members regarding sources of unknown income, but the problem is that lawmakers themselves are a source of corruption. The only recipe for ailing democracy is more democracy in the form of separation of powers and checks and balances. Elect the heads of the main government branches to hand power back to the real holders of sovereignty, the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
A young girl and her grandmother died when Armenian-backed troops shelled a village in Azerbaijan.

It should cover universal values and election of officials and help Azerbaijan to realize prosperity through long and peaceful development.
