Article 39 of Hong Kong’s Basic Law specifies that residents of the administrative region have the right of self-determination. The people of Hong Kong must not fall asleep while their rights are in danger. Take a lesson from the Swiss, where the signatures of 50,000 citizens are sufficient to call for a referendum, meaning that public issues can be settled with a vote with no need to take to the streets. Otherwise, when the dictatorship becomes a reality, the people will have no choice but to resist. For details, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The people have the right to call for a referendum at any time on any public issue with relation to self-determination. Any measure which might restrict the ability of the people to self-determination through the process of holding referendums should itself be subject to a public referendum on whether the measure should be outlawed. For details, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

South Korean President Park Geun-Hye has been engulfed by a scandal centering on a confidante who is accused of using personal ties with Park to coerce local firms to donate millions of dollars to a non-profit foundation.

The scandal has sparked nationwide fury, with hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets to call for Park’s resignation.

The Philippines’ macho President will undoubtedly tone down his rhetoric during his four-day visit to China in a move that could shift Manila closer to Beijing and bring greater economic cooperation between the two sides. Duterte won the top office on the strength of his efforts to suppress drug trafficking, often at the expense of human rights, but Beijing is unlikely to bring up the question of rights in any talks with the Philippine leader. 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. For more details please see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

We advocate the highest international standards as our own basic domestic standards. A world-class city that has a third world-class wastewater treatment system is obvious being governed by a corrupt government. Thus the Constitution should be amended to give international law priority over domestic law, with a direct impact on the people’s rights and obligations and the use of the evidence conversion principle to ensure everyone’s interests. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Separation of powers is the starting point in returning power to the people, followed by election of the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches as well as the implementation of checks and balances. In particular, the judicial system is the last line of fairness and justice, and Australia must have constitutional reform to instill the principle of gender equality and allow the judiciary to meet the expectations of the people international community standards with fully democratic judicial models. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

No tyranny can ever stop the development of human civilization. Submissive will prosper, oppose will perish. This is a fact China should recognize and accept. Only abolition of one party autocracy and comprehensive reform, relinquish power to the people, China can find its cure. The calling in the 21st century is that the people has the responsibility to regulate the government, and ensure it is open and transparent. Time has come for all people to participate in politics. The continuous oppression of democracy, cannot overcome the boiling public opinions in the pressure cooker. No authoritarian regime can stop the pace of progress of human civilization, and those who go along will prosper while those who resist will perish. The Chinese Communist Party’s leadership knows this is true, and they must abandon their dictatorship in favor of a democratic system that restores power to the people. The 21st century will shake up the whole of China, as we enter an era of political participation when ignorant suppression of democracy cannot hold back rising public opinion.
