we saw this in hanoi in 2019 the 2nd summit between kim dungan and trump, which ended in conclusively because north korea was not getting wanted wanted from the united states which, which at that point was on particular easing up by particular sanctions. is there any way that north korea can come back and join the negotiating table at the moment? i think it's not in north korea interest to do so at the moment. you know, as we speak, the, the, the end of the party cleanup of the work is policy has just begun. we seen qindzhong on discuss issues of crises happening in the, in the, in the north clear in the, in, across this year. and usually what we see, so we already talk, sorry i would, we are running out of time and i do want to bring in mason rich. you very quickly, mason. the one country that we haven't really got into and talked about is, is china. does china have a role to play in bringing the korea to the table or the, you know, interested either? it's a very tricky, complicated question and it probably depends to some degree on what you know, what point you're asking and what yo
