prime minister is calling for special care ahead of school. holidays and infections of surged in south korea. experts predict hundreds of thousands of new cases in the coming weeks over the world's most heavily fortified border in north korea. officials say they're at a very different stage in this battle, claiming to have already diffused the crisis. the case cna statement was both celebratory and short on detail work to perfect the state anti epidemic and counter crisis capacity has intensified. and the anti epidemic campaign improved to finally defuse the epidemic crisis and restore stability. but pyongyang claims cannot be confirmed because there's no independent data. the world health organization has pointed this out in the past with north korea only acknowledged it's cove it outbreak in may. you see that was when leader kim jong own, seen wearing a mask for the 1st time since the pandemic started in 2020, declared an emergency and ordered locked downs across the country. but the anti virus push has faced its own challenges due to border closures. north korea has no cove at vaccines. i

if we compare that to south korea, so it's south korea has a fatality rate of about point one percent over the past couple of months where it's north korea is that point 002 percent. if we believe those figures, those are coming from the korea central news agency. one of the problems that we have with north korea is that transparency of media ngos really evacuated north korea after north korea sealed the border in about mid 2020. so the information that we're getting is really controlled by the government. and given what we know about the pandemic, it's, it's introduced a lot of skepticism into how north korea's is fearing with coven 19 been. and if we look at the timing, it was only 2 months ago. north korea 1st acknowledged an outbreak of covered 192 to 3 years after everyone else. and now it's on top of it on after only a couple months. yes, international health experts are having trouble with these figures. again, if we look at the trajectory of how the pandemic has played out in other countries, how from the 1st case, the development and the peak of a case and, and how it abs? fo

and particularly looking at china and south korea here. oh, okay. oh, so i think it would be fair to say that our bay was probably a lot more popular outside of the immediate region of japan than he was with the immediate neighbors, like south korea or china. in the case of south korea, i think the, there was a lot of tensions in relationship ave was very dedicated to the idea of sort of playing down and revising japan's pre world war 2 history of, of the conquest of asia. and this did not go down very well with koreans who spent 50 years as a clone equal possession of japan. i with the case of china, is that also was an aggravating factor. but also the fact that jip ave was very dedicated to tour of a re militarize ing and building up japan security policy that was sort of one of those very constant themes. and so obviously from the point of view of beijing, this was not welcome that japan was sort of rising as a possible military challenge to, to china. so growth in the region. let's go into defense a little bit more. how would you characterize a
