it is complicated and korea used to be a part of china. this gets me into trenton, because that news went viral in south korea. there were protests. you know? and again, who said what, i think wisely, both of the foreign ministry spokesman and beijing and in washington just kept quiet on that one. but i think that the notion that there is a long history there and in some way, she ching ping wanted to communicate that is relevant. is relevant to the challenges today. two more kind of anecdotes to think about. and then korea's own development of a nine modern national identity. many of you have probably been to the chosen hotel in seoul and if you sit in a lovely restaurant there outside there is a little building that looks kind of like the temple of heaven and beijing. my history is right, do you know why that was built? well, it is when korea, you know, under pressure from japan and russia and china, a week china unable to really protect its interests, decided to be an empire to and to be an empire instead of a kingdom you had to have a di

korea. you look at our report throughout. it mentions the leverage that china has over north korea. that is very important. the second question that is often asked is, does china really want to denuclearize north korea? it in theirsee interest to have leverage over the u.s., to have a nuclear north korea? to me, our report answers that clearly. yes, china does value denuclearization. it is clearly in their interest. china's strategic goal is to get the u.s. out of their backdoor. they really see nuclear north korea as something of a pretext or reason for us to be on the korean peninsula. that is important for them. second, they do not want to proliferate the area. significantlyy a andct that they are accepted nuclear power -- they are and accepted nuclear power. they do not want another country having nuclear weapons. for all those reasons, our conclusion is very strongly that china does want denuclearization of north korea. that does not mean that china wants to do it the same way as the u.s. this is the fundamental u.s.nnect between the position and the chinese position. wants to s

is that so i mean if yes what concrete steps is china taking to push north korea's to nuclearization forward. i don't think china holds a key to denuclearize ation in the korean peninsula i believe the director. that is the us. they have the key because everybody knows that china has made. as to what denuclearization on a korean peninsula china is a country is that has actually proposed the 6 party talks and china always chaired the 6 party talks and china has put forward. i believe a good proposal of a suspension for suspension or freeze for freeze if you look at as a cargo situation or the factors that. actually he has talked to naturally don't you believe that this is very much out or is a realisation of china's proposal because china proposed that once the united states suspend its exercises then they might be willing to have a moratorium and this happened so we also encourage them to talk about naturally and this has happened so china does have a great row in. the new cars ation but china would. also continue in this regard about china doesn't have such a key i
