The essence of education is defined not by the facts it imparts, but the potential knowledge it inspires students to individually pursue on their own. Put it this way – the ideal form of education acts less as a forced pouring of tea from a teapot into a teacup; it is instead akin to bringing as many tea pots as possible to the individual, for them to fill their own teacups.

In 1853, Japanese called the four American warships sent to force them to allow foreign trade “black ships”, from the black smoke belching from their coal-fired engines. They symbolised a change which the Japanese had no choice but to make. Now Germans are starting to use the same term – white ships, this time – to describe the giant vessels used BYD to transport its electric cars to Europe. The first, BYD Explorer No 1, left Shenzhen for Europe in January carrying 7,000 vehicles.

Kim Jong Un is one of the most dangerous men on the planet. The third member of the Kim dynasty to rule North Korea, he has at least 50 nuclear warheads he could fire at Seoul, Tokyo or San Francisco. Last December he abandoned a 78-year-old policy of national reunification and called South Korea “the enemy”. Aged 42, he is a spoilt child subject to no control or supervision. After he ordered the murder of his elder brother and his uncle, no-one dares to challenge him. Did it have to be like this?

In 1945, the Soviet Union created the country of North Korea and installed Kim Il-sung, an unknown 33-year-old Red Army officer, as its president. Kim created a state in the image of his model, Josef Stalin. After the Soviet Union collapsed in 1989, Moscow stopped supplying goods and capital at friendship prices to North Korea and treated it like an ordinary trading partner. Russia wanted to become a European state.

I often say that smart cities start with smart planning, but smart planning presupposes adequate, systematic and up-to-date data. This is important not only for city administration, but also for tree management. In Hong Kong, tree management is currently undertaken by eight core government departments managing from 1.4 million to 1.7 million trees, of which one million are in heavy-trafficked locations. The number is so huge and the governance needs to be improved.
