that south korea would not supply weapons to ukraine.ell, in general, there is, of course, a very interesting situation when the nato secretary general arrives in the capital of the south korea, which, as far as i know, has not joined nato. and such an accession is not even discussed and is already offering south korea what it should do, and not what is called. in general, but very specifically, i propose a course of action that would inevitably create serious difficulties for south korea by its neighbors with china and russia with us. today, konstantinovich kosachev, vice speaker of the state duma of the federation council, i apologize for the advice. i was a state deputy. but it was a long time ago. for this you had a great diplomatic career. thank you. and you even worked with such an interesting person as yevgeny primakov, who, from my point of view, was not usually able to combine. but if you want. a firm firm hand and pragmatic flexibility now, looking at everything that's going on. you have the feeling that russia is facing someth

we've also received use that south korea carried out a solid fuel rocket test last week. the defense ministry says it was part of if it's to build a space based surveillance capability and bold stewart's defense post trip. it didn't notify the public causing a brief scare. some people thought it was a north korean missile. others, a u. f o. well, regional tensions and russia's war on ukraine has stoking fears in japan. it recently unveiled its biggest military build up since the 2nd world war. a $320000000000.00 plan that will buy missiles capable of striking china and radiate for sustained conflicts. east asian countries are responding to the changing status quo in the region. it's a challenge adapting to rapidly changing times. the idea of growing its own military muscle is in you in japan. it just didn't get prioritized. but in december, the government finally announced a new national security strategy that will see its defense spending being doubled within 5 years. a response to china's military built up and increasing activity in the region. given a to go, i recogniz

and they pointed to south korea in the u. s. as the primary threat for them to be pushed to do that. and so i think experts are also pointing out that essentially the skill of these tests should no longer just be characterized as a missile test. they should be viewed as military exercises because of the skill and the frequency that it's happening. and they are concerned that there is probably not going to be short term solution to de escalate attention that is currently really reaching appalling point in the korean peninsula. and you mentioned china before how, why do we have to be about it's ambitions abroad? i think we should pay very close attention to the people's liberation army activities in and around asia. it's not only just in south china sea where they have long been conducting these very provocative moves and try to expand their territorial claims. but at the same time, in the over the last year, they have been conducting regular military exercises with russia near japan. and that is exactly one of the points that was

in fact, there's a growing number of scholars and public opinion within south korea that in fact, tries to be viewed away from the u. s. alliance. we're more self sufficient. south korean made solution for the situation. but the up to understand that that, that particular concept regarding the u. s. a big with the but then again, because of the very, in that perception level between the u. s. and south korea against north korea. you know, it's not as simple as, you know, just nuking your neighbor or nuking and allies neighbor because of the nitty gritty complications that are in store within that context. so that is where the questions come. so, but you know, it takes, it takes a sort of jump in here, but it takes 2 to tango, right? i mean, unless, let's pay the other side of the field here, showing yang. it's not exactly helping me out as is it, i mean, firing off ballistic missiles into the sea of japan while when america and south korea are doing drills right there. i mean, wouldn't that in fact, i mean with young young's ballistic missile tests, wouldn't that? in fact, confirm the f

that south korea would not supply weapons to ukraine.l, in general, there is, of course, a very interesting situation when the nato secretary general arrives in the capital of the south korea, which, as far as i know, has not joined nato.

south korea. so why is this happening now? well, this may not be the only reason covered. 1900 might not be. the only reason south korea's parliamentary leader has recently visited taiwan, and that would have no doubt agood beijing. and on monday, china's new foreign minister chin gong had a phone call with his, with his count to part in south korea. they know that would have raised both of these issues and it seems that phone call just didn't go very well in china's foreign ministry. has been flagging for some time now. counts measures against a growing of countries which are imposing restrictions on chinese travelers because of concerns around the virus and the spreading of new virus strain. and this ultimately is an example of a famous chinese saying, which is to scare a monkey, you must kill a chicken. so they doing, they've taken a relatively weaker small country that is reliant on china to make an example of for these other big countries. for example, countries that have already imported mea

south korea for one says that this is based on science. do you think these requirements make sense from a public health perspective? i think generally, so the link travel does make sense if it's a sort of comprehensive surveillance from all regions to keep an eye on what radians are coming in and to reduce the number of cases of infection coming in. but it only makes sense if it's done comprehensively across of all because we know, for example, that are really concerning the areas that are growing. for example, the u. s. canada and across europe. and you know, there are no sort of update about adjusting policies from there. and it also makes sense only if there are domestic measures that also reduce the rate of spread. because we know that nobody measure is perfect. so cases will enter even if it's the cases of a new variant. and once they enter what happens then if there are no domestic policies to reduce spread, things like you know, air cleaning, ventilation mocking, and testing with isolation. then those cases will spread domestically,

that is already a nuclear—weapons debate in south korea, whether south korea should build its own nukes am genuinely surprised that china seems to prefer a nuclear north korea to any kind of pressure on north korea because unless the chinese helplessly north koreans are not going to stop because as you pointed out the chinese will bail them out of the un and elsewhere. fin chinese will bail them out of the un and elsewhere. on that south korean _ the un and elsewhere. on that south korean reaction, - the un and elsewhere. on that south korean reaction, yes, i south korean reaction, yes, there will be pressure in the region to build up a bank of reserves, do you expect that to happen? mi; reserves, do you expect that to hauen? y, ,, reserves, do you expect that to hauen? g, ,, ., reserves, do you expect that to hauen? , , . happen? my senses that south korean new — happen? my senses that south korean new securitisation i happen? my senses that south korean new securitisation is i happen? my senses that south korean new securitisation is a l korean new securitisation is a 50-50 korean new

there is already a nuclear—weapons debate in south korea, whether or not south korea should build itsa is not going to roll back, and china could help a lot and it is not. and i am genuinely surprised that china seems to prefer a nuclear north korea to any kind of pressure on north korea, because unless the chinese help us, the north koreans are not going to stop, as you pointed out, because the chinese will bail them out of the un and elsewhere. and on that south korean reaction — and, yes, there will be pressure, presumably, in the region to build up a bank of reserves — and do you expect that to happen? my own sense is that that south korean nuclearization is probably a 50—50 issue right now. not injapan, althouthapan, you may have noticed, your viewers may know that around three weeks ago the japanese announced a defence strategy and are still going to substantially build up their ability to strike off shore, and that means particularly north korea and china, and they are going to sort of expand defence spending generally. but, i mean, this is what you get if the north koreans jus

well, for now, at what south korea is doing is essentially back filling. so for example, they signed a record deal to provide poland with hundreds of tanks, howitzers, and, and jet aircraft. and then poland is then able to export it and send more of its legal aid into ukraine. there are also reports that so the crew will send a tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition to the us that will then be sent into ukraine. but the secretary general made his case at a, at a form here in south korea, saying that other countries changed their policies, given the extraordinary circumstances of, of russia's attack and called again for, for south korea to change course and provide that legal aid to ukraine. u. s. defense secretary light austin, also visiting sol today. what can we expect from his visit? well, an interesting headline in south korean english media today said 75 percent of south koreans advocate the country getting its own nuclear weapons. the provision of u. s. extended deterrence, that's the u. s. a decision to extend its nuclear umbrella use nuclear wea

given that 2022 has brought a yard into changing dynamic into the relations between nato and south korea. and installed back has previously made the case that what happens in asia and the indo pacific is important for europe to. but how can places like japan and korea play a role in something like the war in ukraine? will south korea is already playing a role. it was one of the few asian partners that from the beginning has criticized a rush. us war against the grain. and in the past few months, of course, south korea's role as a supplier and manufacturer of high level weaponry has blayton increasing role in european arm swept deals are indirectly, we have to acknowledge. here are given, for example, that south korea now supplies a large weaponry to poland, which freeze for the older or weaponry from poland up to give 2 hoots for to supply to the grain. and what about china, and how much does this have to do with rising competition with beijing and how do you think they might view this trip from salt and burn? defender denila, duke e 3rd goal in his last 3 appearances. and yet another to

and what will japan do then south korea is in opposition to north korea so they have more security problemsbut north korea threatens japan as well if south korea decides that it needs nuclear weapons this will be a significant change in the region, and then you can imagine that japan will also think, but now it does not seem to me it is probable between russia and japan an irresolvable territorial conflict, given the general unpleasant tendencies towards militarization in the world. do we have 3.5 clashes at the moment i don't see the risk of a serious military conflict between japan and russia being our main concern south of our territory. they are to the north. this is taiwan south china sea and so on. well, of course, we have entered a new era of relationships and the security situation around is increasingly difficult, so there is reason to be a little concerned about this scenario, so need to save the contacts dialog to avoid risk. there is cooperation in three areas: energy, fisheries and humanitarian ties. and this is a must-have, thank you. with us was that bitches abiru. japan is a

japan. china is a top trading partner and south korea and japan. both have many businesses operating here that they will not be able to attend to in person. and that's going to hurt those businesses. and for china itself, it's no doubt going to impact china's origins. bottom line, but the reason that china has decided to go forward with this is that south korea and japan have, among other countries in the world, the strictest measures employers on chinese travelers. coming here, coming from here to those countries for south korea and japan, they require that chinese passengers take not one but to curve a test one before arrival, and one on arrival. and if people are found positive woodcarver 1900, they are required to take 7 days of quarantine at their own expense. and both governments have also also their own airlines not to expand flights from china. now the background through all of this is out on sunday, china began eating it's border restrictions opening up to the world. so that means that while carbon 1900 tests are still required to people c
