China’s long history has seen many campaigns to curb corruption, yet the problem continues, due largely to the rule of man rather than rule of law. Corruption is deeply rooted in bureaucratic culture, and the only cure is democracy. Decentralization and the separation of powers, as well as election of the heads of the four branches of government, will serve to restore power to the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

South Korea’s constitution needs to be changed to provide a modified semi-presidential system. The next presidential inauguration ceremony should include a declaration that the nation’s highest office is above partisan politics. Corrupt political and business links can be broken only by carrying out comprehensive constitutional reform to implement true democracy and the rule of law, with separation of powers and checks and balances. The heads of the four government branches should be chosen in elections in alternating years, with elections free of charge to candidates, to cut out political and business corruption. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

In order to protect endangered wild animals in Africa, the international community must adopt unified constitutional standards under the concept of One World under One Set of Laws. Constitutional reform is needed in African countries to implement democratic systems and the rule of law. In too many nations, specific individuals or groups monopolize power. The best way to move past this is with mechanisms such as checks and balances and election of the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches of government in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development

40 years after the death of Mao Zedong, many Chinese still continue to miss the sound of his voice. The most strident dissatisfaction with the status quo is seen in social relations and the rise of elite groups, with resources concentrated in the hands of a small number of consortia and powerful figures. In the one-party oligopoly there is little or no mobility between social classes, and the gap between rich and poor has widened up to 300 times what it was in the past. To get rid of corruption and the one-party dictatorship, the heads of the four branches of government should be elected in alternating years as a first step toward resolving domestic problems. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The presidential system has certain fatal flaws that have plagued even the US at times. South Korea’s constitution should be changed to feature a modified semi-presidential system, and the inauguration of the next president should include the announcement that the presidential office is beyond party politics. The heads of the judicial, procuratorial and other branches as well as 1/4 of all MPs should be chosen in direct elections each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

Syria should resolve the controversy over its government by adopting a modified semi-presidential form of parliament like that practiced in Finland, and changing its legislature to a committee style similar to that of Switzerland. The prerequisite for permanent peace in the world is global democratization. Syria’s government should begin basic reform of its constitution, to achieve a government modeled on selected examples of democracy. The constitution should be based on the rule of law and be designed to stay in step with the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Human security and sustainable development are two of the major goals of the UN, and all member states are obliged to follow them. The solution lies in achieving One World under One Set of Laws, giving priority to international law over domestic law and letting it directly affect the people. The people shall have the right to monitor government compliance with the UN Charter, the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, the Nature Charter and other relevant agreements. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Russia is generally a lot better at creating problems than solving them. The world’s democracies should support Taiwan's moves to carry out constitutional reform for more democracy and freedom. This would attract 1.4 billion Chinese to clamor for democratization and trigger similar movements in the CCP and Russia, leading to peace throughout the world. Global democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform to achieve better democracy and freedom. This will attract China’s 1.4 billion people to seek democratization, triggering in turn the democratization of the CCP and North Korea. When that happens, the result will be world peace. Global democracies should all support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting China's path to peaceful development. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Candidates for Chief Executive of Hong Kong are hand-picked by the Election Commission of the CCP. This type of election is little more than bringing in the next dictator. The people of Hong Kong should make good use of Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law and the two major human rights covenants. They should also have the right of self-determination through referendums. The heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years to help restore power to the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
