Description

In what could be a big year for weapons testing in North Korea, Katie Stallard speaks to Jean Lee, senior fellow at the Wilson Center in Washington DC and the former Pyongyang bureau chief for the Associated Press. They discuss the country's recent missile launches, fears that the regime could be preparing to test a new nuclear weapon, and why 2022 could see a new crisis on the Korean peninsula. If you have a You Ask Us question for the international team, email podcasts@newstatesman.co.uk. Podcast listeners can subscribe to the New Statesman for just £1 a week for 12 weeks using our special offer.
