is giving you an idea and there's one ultimate goal insight. i have no doubt that 20 years now, even before then, we'll have a video of ease uh to over heritage point for spending. the prospect stopping. and who knows, perhaps the next christiano right now, the will come from australia is the inmates community that set you up today. it's all have all. well here's at the top of our list. a child has news asia in just a moment with more about the face of china is missing. part of the have a good thing. the doors towards the scoring

we say they were about never giving up sports flies every weekend on dw 2016. that's a good bye to the queen. customer wants to see if germinate was for me. the last few years have been quite a ride, getting fairly in touch with the tab. and i've already done the harm of when it comes to gemini is on the cool. so with look right in the eyes for kids, but perhaps the biggest on the new hobby at $900.00 on the referred not to be in the news that refers and never comes. but when you're feeling altogether, you'll realize it's called just as another way of living. are you ready to meet with jasmine? then join me, right? just do it on vw. the, you're watching the news agent coming up to date, chinese mistreat finally solved the countries for administer had disappeared for a month. paging has now come out to say, he's out of the job and 70 years after the korean war,

the conflict remains on resolved. as south korea worries about the growing new, clear threats from killing yang, the my name is most chance. thanks for joining us. we take a closer look at the disappearance of ching gong, china's foreign minister until tuesday, when the communist party announced he'd been relieved of his post. chain gun had simply disappeared for an entire month. and until this week, no one knew why. high profile chinese gone missing is kind of a phenomenon. there was tech tycoon jack mall who criticized china's financial regulators in 2020, then vanished amid crack down on tech entrepreneurs. same as actress, phung being, being disappeared for 4 months, only to reappear. seeing praises of the communist party tennis start punch. why

accused a top official of sexual assault and again went missing only to reappear, saying it was all a misunderstanding. and now we have chewing gum. the foreign minister, formerly a close ally of shooting ping. there are rumors, he had an extra marital affair with a t v journalist. so joining us in the studio is dw china analyst, clifford conan clifford. can you tell us of the latest concerning the disappearance of change on how big a deal is this? well, it's a big deal. i mean, if you imagine on an unattainable block or anthony blinking, disappearing and made rumors of an affair. and then, and then a few months, a few weeks later they're fired. it's, it's, it's that kind of level. but perhaps more importantly, what it is, it's another example of how to do. we know how things actually work in at the top echelons of power in china. it's a black box. we don't know how decisions are made on key issues such as the,

the appointment of the foreign minister or the position of the foreign minister of the country. and as we pointed out just now, he's just one of a number of high profile chinese, whether they are government officials or celebrities who have gone missing and you reported from china and you've been observing this for a very long time. what does this tell us about the attorney state? well, i think the disappearance or the purging of, of senior party comments party officials is nothing new. these to say when german miles allies disappeared at the 2 mountains, 2 tigers cannot share the same mansion. what is different, i think with the current situation in the people's republic of china is that this cuts across society, it used to be just the party congress. they kind of know what's going on. they understand the political game. but now we have things like tech type coons, we have film stars, all of these things are relatively new and part of the new china. but what we're learning is that they to control victim of these kind of purges that they're also

being held accountable for their actions. and that if they don't fit into the dog man, they don't fit into what's required of them. that they too can be disappeared. and then often sometimes they come back and like jack mall has come back with his company large the gone as far as he's concerned or like family and being. she comes back and she says that she's, she feels dash, uh, she feels ashamed to what she did and it's helped her to become com. right. and so with regard back to this new foreign minister we have, does that mean that child is born policy changes at all? i i, it strikes me that because one he was, he's the previous foreign minister. i think he looks more like a, like a and a sort of a, an interim measure really. i wouldn't be surprised if they do name a new uh, foreign minister to take over that position. but i don't think foreign policy itself will change. i think we're gonna stick to very much to the current farm policy, which seems to be a resolution approach to, to the united states,

to warmer ties of russia. and then also keeping the, keeping your up on a us a part. clifford couldn't and thanks so much for joining us in the studio. this week marks the seventy's anniversary of the signing of the korean armistice which suspended though technically did not. and the korean war, 5000000 people died in that fight, half of them civilians, and also korean american and chinese soldiers. it divided career engine north and south and has since turned from a hot war to a cold conflict would become today some 28000 us soldiers remain stationed in south korea and along the infamous b, m. z, north and south korean soldiers are of the 38th parallel of the cold war lives on here in pun one, drum, the demilitarized, so between north and south korea,

south korean soldiers keep close watch when every move their communist neighbors make tensions. of running high as north korea tests, as a more sophisticated besides, some can even reach cities in the us, the country that has pledged to protect south korea. this is most of the dangerous moment because there is a shortage of a symmetric, a capabilities. those go ahead, which is nuclear capability. once they either use new nukes, or threats and the serious of it. so that's it to you to use nukes, we don't have any plan or keep an eye to keep, defend our country. it is very doubtful that whether american government to ex 3 responded with new do nuclear weapons, north and south korea, a formerly still at war with each other. the demilitarized zone bulls established in july 1953 when they ended 3 years of bloody war. with the korean armistice

agreement. relations between the 2 have had many highs and lows over the past 70 years. but they have now cooled considerably. reunification is not high on the agenda for many people in the south korean capital. so young age like be uh, get a lot of pressure by leading their own life. but at the same time, if we are thinking about the reunion is some point they have a like a concern. do we have to take care of them too? sweetie de one. and i love you about the increase texas. i will have to pay off to a possibly unification. that my concern, i guess, for a most like all or koreans like with my age, i think they see a more of a distance topic rather than re unification. i think most people want to like just total separation. i think that's like most of as some polls in south korea, sho, about 3 quarters of the public now support the idea of nuclear armament to counter

threats from the north. johnson who owns this south korea should accept the fact that the nor has nuclear weapons instead of insisting on the nuclear ization as a precondition for talks. he things south 3 of us to not he's when it signed the so called the nuclear ization declaration. just as ukraine was when it gave up it's nuclear weapons, budapest member 11 of the reason why the cross this as soon as i'm concerned about this nuclear threat is that we have seen what you can express. this is we will understand that. you print with nuclear weapons would not be in bed by the rush. you know, they don't have to have to do from russia who is supposed to provide sure to guarantee to create very similar destiny is ever seen like, hey, the walking the streets of sol. this frozen conflict seems very far away until one encounters, one of the many memorial sites in town,

like here at the warm museum of korea, commemorating the 10s of thousands of south korean and united nation soldiers who died in the korean war 7 decades later lasting peace still seems out of reach. joining us has james fred? well, an analyst at n k news. thanks for coming on the program. so we mark 70 years of a frozen war and gosh, looking at p on the on today. kim jonah is firing off in the south and north korea is a nuclear state. this is where things stand, right? indeed. yeah. and snow korea really keeps ploughing ahead very quickly. with this uh, new to the weapons missile capabilities. the big party story was in 2017, when it launched as fast as all capable of hitting the us of the past few

months is successfully tested as fast, solid fuel in wisconsin. and so i ballistic missile now about some goals. and because wal at north korea was able to hit the main line, us with liquids, you'll miss all since 2017. so the only files that everything else, the cold, you can prepare the much more quickly. the launch site basically bottom line is the adult career is getting quite capable with its missiles and that's very bad news, but will be us and south korea. right. and this is the kind of situation um, when we look at the 2 sides facing off, that ukrainian officials must be wondering. i'm saying we absolutely need to avoid . and, and i say this because of course in eastern ukraine, it's looking like a tough counter offensive, given the russian military, digging in literally with 10, with trenches rather along an entire front to know as well. so i

think uh when it comes to mid zillow with the zip codes, one reason why the west ism intervening directly with troops on the grounds. uh and ukraine is because this morning about uh, rushes in into a weapons, rice. and um, if we look at the korean peninsula, uh, south korea, you know, it is going to be getting very nervous about no pre is in breathing weapons capabilities of coal online q crying south career. it does have a military alliance with the us. so the us is meant to come and help it out. uh it is a tax, final korea. but when like falling this alliance in the 1950s, most career didn't have any kind of weapons and they definitely didn't have missiles capable. ringback at foreign level, all the way up the mainland to us. it does now and south koreans and thinking, well known, create incredibly the rest in the us with the need to a strike with the washington really comes all right. there was the rest of

a retaliatory strike. how serious is it that the south koreans are wondering whether they should acquire nuclear weapons? i mean, that is something that's growing as our report mentioned. so yeah. so at the beginning of the current president, this time you suck your uh, there was a lot of support and there was a lot of talk about that career development. so i need to weapons. however, i use some of this with j biden, in washington in april they agreed to create a single, the new to us and sol. so great. and this has meant to be this kind of dialogue, whereas south career and america can discuss me to a use in the events that the other know for an attack. and this seems to have a calm, some bids about america's commitment to south career and kind of call that that

dialogue about software development certainly to weapons. however, this, this consults the great, you know, it's a little bit vague as at the end of the day, south korea doesn't have any uh, old stars the either american use of nuclear weapons. so i think for now. yeah, there's going to be less talk about soft drinks in the weapons, but in the us to come, i think noticeably there's questions going to be raised again. james bet. well, thank you so much for joining us. and that's it for the program. i. melissa chad. thanks for watching and goodbye the can you invest money while supporting the worthy causes? like social justice and environmental sustainability? and your options are expanding
