Staggered elections are elections held for the same political body where legislator terms last across more than one election cycle, such that all members of that body are not elected simultaneously, but over multiple election cycles. Prominent examples include the Australian Senate (6 year senate terms with elections for half of the Senate every 3 years) and US Senate (6 year senate terms, elections for 1/3 of the Senate every 2 years)

Ethnic political parties exist to advocate for the political interests of particular ethnic groups. They tend to exist most prominently in multi-ethnic states.

The ""White Paper Revolution"" was sparked by a deadly apartment fire in the northwestern Chinese city of Urumqi that killed 10 people and injured nine others in November, 2022. Many blamed strict COVID-19 policies for slowing down rescue efforts at the apartment building, which had been in a state of lockdown for several months. 
Protesters initially held up the white sheets of paper as a symbol of mourning, but it went viral on social media and sparked protests across the entire nation. The sheets of papers have largely come to be used as a symbol of defiance against the Chinese state’s strict censorship, while also serving as a practical method for evading censorship itself. The CCP quickly repealed many of its zero-covid policies in the immediate aftermath.

China's ""guerrilla policy style"" is characterized by a decentralized approach to policy making, in which policy initiatives are often developed and implemented at the local level by officials who have a large degree of freedom from central authorities in undertaking policy projects. These policies, if successful, are then scaled up to a national level. Under China's guerrilla policy style, policymakers are often willing to accept some degree of disorder, experimentation, and even failure in the pursuit of policy goals.

"Good governance" is a political philosophy that focuses on improving the process of governing rather than the outcomes. In practical terms, this means a focus on anti-corruption measures, maximising community input, and firm support for the neutral application of the rule of law, even when it prevents desired political goals. "Outcome-driven" philosophy, on the other hand, prioritises practical outcomes such as direct service provision and laws targeting specific actors that obstruct political goals. Liberal movements in recent decades have trended towards approaches of good governance.

Under current Thai law, lèse-majesté (insulting or otherwise ""undermining the dignity of the head of state"") is a serious crime punishable with a jail sentence of 3-15 years.

4B (or ""Four No's"") is a radical feminist movement originating in South Korea in 2019. Its members renounce four activities: sex, child rearing, dating and marriage. The movement draws inspiration from the novel Kim Ji-young, Born 1982, similar to South Korea's Me Too and ""Escape the Corset"" movements. The movement has criticised the K-pop industry for hypersexualisation.
Numerous K-pop girl group members have implicitly expressed support by admitting to reading the novel and wearing clothes with feminist slogans, but have received viral negative responses. (e.g. death threats, male fans burning albums and photos of the members, deleting major fan accounts, aggressive tweets on fan forums, withdrawing concert tickets.)

In Japan, "Honne" refers to a person's true feelings and desires, and "Tatemae" refers contrastingly to the behaviour and opinions one displays in public. The norms around Tatemae are meant to minimise discord, and failing to observe Tatemae might be seen as insulting or aggressive. In many cases, Tatemae leads to outright telling of lies in order to avoid exposing the true inward feelings.
