In the time it takes you to put on just one elbow pad, you can access hundreds of cutting-edge news articles from all around the globe. Yet making sense of international events can be tricky. To really get it, you need to understand something about historical context.
Take for example the present-day situation between the United States, the People’s Republic of China, and Taiwan.
