Beijing regards the island as a breakaway province which must be reunited with the mainland. The United States has long opposed such a step.

Beyond the classroom: What students truly need to learn

When we look back at our schooling, there is a familiar pattern many of us recognise.We learnt a great deal of content — trigonometry, logarithms, rhombuses, quadratic equations, chemical formulae, and the reproductive parts of flowers. In science labs, learning also came alive through hands-on experimentation — careful observation and the occasional dissection of frogs and specimens, part curiosity, part hesitation, all taken very seriously at the time. We solved problems about trains moving at...
