Education remains a top Sino-UK pursuit

Promoting exchanges with China in education and environmental conservation has been among the major highlights of British Prime Minister Theresa May's stay in Wuhan, Hubei province, the first stop of her first official visit to China.

As part of her packed schedule, May traveled to Wuhan University to attend an exhibition on education and cultural exchanges between Hubei province and Britain shortly after she left her plane on Wednesday morning.

Education is high on the bilateral agenda at a time China has become a major market for the British education sector. As May said, more than 150,000 Chinese students are studying in the UK.
