Whatever WeChat's links with policing in China, I believe that they have an equivalent of Face ID to authenticate users. Keeping in mind that WeChat is used as an electronic wallet and almost bank account in China. It would have been b

They do not compete on learning abilities, they compete on work. It is very disparaging to pupils to imply that if they "are not good" it's just because of their abilities. The message should be first and foremost that they c

China is often hardly mentioned at all in narratives on WWII as a whole or in the Pacific.

The D-Day celebrations also usually forget to mention Operation Bagration, a massive soviet offensive in June-August 1944, which is perhaps the biggest German army defeat in history and is very important to keep in mind in the context of th

There are/were several new nuclear power stations planned. The issue is that government policy is that they should be funded by the private sector (and that the UK is no longer able to build a nuclear power station by itself). No-one i
