D. 27. juli 1953 blev en våbenhvile mellem Nord- og Sydkorea indgået i pagoden ved grænsebyen Panmunjom. Det var den foreløbige afslutning på tre års blodig krig med op mod 3 millioner dræbte. Det var også Den Kolde Krigs første reelle 'stedfortræderkrig' mellem de kommunistiske og de demokratiske lande. Nordkorea, Sovjetunionen og Kina imod Sydkorea, USA og et stort FN-kontingent, bl.a. med dansk humanitær deltagelse. 70 år efter våbenstilstanden er krigen mellem de to koreanske stater ikke officielt afsluttet, og den koreanske halvø er et af klodens mest oprustede områder. Hvordan fremstiller de to ærkefjender krigen i deres respektive nationale historieskrivning? Hvordan forløb krigen? Og er historiefortællingen med til at fastholde de to parter på krigsstien? Det er nogle af spørgsmålene i denne uges Kampen om historien, hvor Adam Holm taler med journalisterne Flemming Ytzen og Morten Søndergaard Larsen, der begge har et indgående kendskab til forholdet mellem Nord- og Sydkorea. Musik: Adi Zukanovic.

The Korean War “ended” exactly fifty years ago at Panmunjom. On July 27, 1953, United States and United Nations commanders on one side, and the North Koreans and Chinese commanders on the other, agreed to an immediate cessation of hostilities. Most histories of the Korean War stop there. Yet the war merely ended in a truce, not a proper peace agreement. The specter of conflict have loomed over the Korean Peninsula in the five decades since, changing development in both North and South Korea as each tries to secure their own future in a conflict that–in theory–could return at any point. We're joined by Michael J. Seth, who joins the show to talk about this development and his latest book, Korea at War: Conflicts That Shaped the World (Tuttle, 2023). The book is about much more than just the war itself, as Seth looks at Korea's pre- and post-war history, and how South Korea is unique in charting its own development while still, technically, in a state of war. Michael J. Seth is Professor of History at James Madison University. He has authored several books on Korean history including A Concise History of Modern Korea: From the Late Nineteenth Century to the Present (Rowman & Littlefield: 2010), A Concise History of Korea: From the Neolithic to the Nineteenth Century (Rowman & Littlefield: 2006), and Education Fever: Politics, Society and the Pursuit of Schooling in South Korea (University of Hawaii Press: 2002).

More details have emerged about how a serving US soldier, Travis King, managed to cross into North Korea when he was meant to be leaving South Korea for the US after serving time in a detention facility in Seoul. What will Pyongyang try and leverage to allow him to return home?

Continued talk on the US Soldier that ran across the border into North Korea. Private King was taken to the airport and escorted as far as customs. But instead of getting on the plane, he left the airport and later joined a tour of the Korean border village of Panmunjom. He bolted across the border, which is lined with guards and often crowded with tourists. It's not just Donors that are backing Kennedy. It's Trump himself.

The Joint Security Area on the inter-Korean border used to be a popular tourist destination, a place where North and South Korean soldiers stare each other down and visitors can actually step over the Military Demarcation Line within the confines of the famous blue buildings. But since the start of COVID-19, the U.N. Command overseeing the area has prohibited most visits. Recently, however, members of the NK News team joined other media for a special tour of Panmunjom on the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), recording an exclusive podcast from what past U.S. presidents have called “freedom's frontier.” This week, host Jacco Zwetsloot (@JaccoZed) and NK News CEO Chad O'Carroll (@chadocl) go inside the Joint Security Area to investigate reports of mass starvation in North Korea, how communications pass between the two sides, when the DPRK does (and doesn't) answer the phone and what's changed during the pandemic. You can read more about what NK News learned during the JSA visit in the following article: "No signs of death and starvation at inter-Korean border, UNC officials say."

Säkerhetspolitik i stort och smått. Vi tittar på vad som avhandlades under det nyligen avslutade toppmötet mellan USA, Japan och Sydkorea.  Dessutom återknyter vi till en tidigare podd då vi pratade om varför det går så trögt att utveckla geotermisk energi i Japan. Hela landet ligger ju bokstavligen talat på en gigantisk varmvattenberedare. Det bubblar och pyser överallt. Varför använder man inte energin i större utsträckning ? Vi har träffat Gunnar Svensson - svensk ingenjör som för några år sedan var med och lanserade ett svenskutvecklat system för att ta till vara Japans geotermiska energi .  Sist av allt berättar Göran om ett minnesvärt besök i byn Panmunjom på gränsen mellan Sydkorea och Nordkorea.

During his time in country, he received 2 purple hearts, one of which was for being bayonetted, he talks about this experience and the Corpsman who saved his life, Jackie Kilmer. Joe also talks about his time after the service and where he worked, where he took a job at PPL and getting a significant raise over his last job where he made $2.18/hr in 1956.

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Dr. David Finkelstein joins us to discuss the PLA's new joint doctrine and how it will impact China's military modernization. Dr. Finkelstein describes his research process behind his new report and predicts the major new components of the doctrine. He argues that the concept of an integrated joint force represents a major doctrinal development within the PLA and is a response to a paradigm shift in how warfighting is conducted in an information-centric era. In addition, Dr. Finkelstein emphasizes how the joint doctrine will enhance the PLA's abilities to engage in all types of military operations, including high-end conventional operations. Lastly, Dr. Finkelstein analyzes the possible internal and external challenges the PLA will face when implementing the new doctrine, and how this timeline aligns with China's military modernization goals for 2027, 2035, and 2049.   Dr. Finkelstein is a vice president of the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) and director of CNA's China & Indo-Pacific Security Affairs Division. He is a long-time student of Chinese military and security issues, serving as a member of the National Committee on US-China Relations (NCUSCR) and the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). A retired US Army Officer, Dr. Finkelstein has spent his career in several tactical assignments, to include in Panmunjom, Korea, and in various China and Asia-related positions at the Pentagon, and has taught Chinese security issues at West Point. He is the author of “The PLA's New Joint Doctrine: The Capstone of the New Era Operations Regulations System.”

How did a tiny village in the Korean mountains come to symbolise the north and south split? The answer lies in the year 1953, when a piece of paper was signed to end what became known as The Forgotten War. But Colin Thackery, Korean War veteran and oldest ever winner of Britain's Got Talent, remembers it well. Memories of gunfire, bodies, starving children, American soldiers playing the piano, frostbite. It's a remarkable story. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Cuántas veces hemos escuchado aquella vieja frase, "la historia es una historia de guerras"; y sí, los conflictos sangrientos son moneda corriente en la larga historia de la humanidad, pero así como hemos tenido batallas memorables, actos heroicos e ingenio militar a lo largo y ancho de todo el mundo, también existen historias de batallas poco conocidas y que no son recordadas con mucho orgullo por los países que protagonizaron estos enfrentamientos... Hoy realizaremos un recorrido por tres batallas absurdas, desde Kiska, en la gélida Alaska; pasando por Panmunjom entre las dos Coreas y culminando en Karánsebes, al este de Europa. ¡Acompáñennos en ese peculiar recorrido! ¡Gracias a nuestros Patreons que hacen posible llegar semana a semana con los episodios de Por las Rutas!

It was quite a week for North Korea watchers. With U.S. President Donald Trump's shock decision on Thursday to withdraw from a planned summit with Kim Jong Un, it felt to many that a return to the days of “fire and fury” was all but inevitable. But an uncharacteristically diplomatic statement from DPRK official Kim Kye Gwan followed, and as the weekend progressed it appeared more and more likely that the June 12 meeting may be back on, with a surprise inter-Korean summit and the news that a U.S. delegation had begun working-level talks with the North Koreans on the northern side of Panmunjom. Hoping to parse the break-neck developments on the Korean peninsula, NK News CEO Chad O'Carroll, Managing Editor Oliver Hotham, and Senior Correspondent Dagyum Ji gathered on Monday for a rapid response podcast.

Kim Jong-un became the first North Korean leader to step foot in South Korea at the Panmunjom Summit in April 2018, setting the stage for President Trump’s meeting with Kim in June. Just days after the summit, Paul Haenle spoke with Dr. Tong Zhao, a fellow in the Nuclear Policy Program based at the Carnegie–Tsinghua Center for Global Policy, on the significance of the Kim-Moon meeting and its implications for China and the United States.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Gregory Elich, a member of the Solidarity Committee for Democracy and Peace in Korea and the author of, “Strange Liberators: Militarism, Mayhem, and the Pursuit of Profit,” and author and professor Tim Beal whose most recent book is “Crisis in Korea.” In one of the most important diplomatic breakthroughs in a generation, the leaders of North and South Korea met yesterday and pledged to denuclearize the peninsula and to formally end the Korean War. Even the most optimistic observers were surprised at the scope of the meeting, which took place on the South Korean side of the border at Panmunjom. President Trump later issued a statement saying that he was looking forward to meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the coming weeks or months. On today’s regular Friday segment covering the upcoming midterm elections, Brian and John take a look at a series of upcoming special elections, a Republican win in Arizona, and the possibility of Ohio Governor John Kasich running against Donald Trump in the Republican primaries. Jacqueline Luqman and Abdus Luqman, the co-editors-in-chief of Luqman Nation, join the show. The House Intelligence Committee has completed and issued its report, concluding that there was no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. The Democrats issued a dissent. And The Daily Beast has suspended columnist and MSNBC host Joy Reid after dozens of homophobic statements were added to her old blog on the MSNBC website. Reid claims that the blog was hacked, her supporters suggested may be that “Russians” were responsible, and the FBI is now investigating. But Daily Beast cybersecurity reporters, and the website’s webmaster, say there is no evidence of any hack. Also, the corporate-owned media is making a great deal of the emails hacked from the Russian attorney who met in July 2016 with Donald Trump. Jr. Brian and John speak with Joe Lauria, editor-in-chief of Consortium News and author of the book “How I Lost, By Hillary Clinton.” German Chancellor Angela Merkel is making a one-day trip to Washington today to meet with President Trump and to discuss the Iran nuclear deal and pending US tariffs on German steel and aluminum. Most media outlets say that the meetings will have none of the warmth seen during French President Macron’s visit to Washington earlier this week. Reiner Braun, co-president of the International Peace Bureau and Sputnik News political analyst and producer Walter Smolarek, join the show. A recent spate of infections linked to romaine lettuce is now the largest multistate foodborne E. coli outbreak since 2006.

Patty Lovera, food and water policy director at Food & Water Watch, joins Brian and John. An international conference aimed at raising aid for victims of the Syria conflict raised just over half of what the United Nations says is needed to support refugees. Just $4.4 billion was raised. The US has pledged $1 billion but has not delivered any of that. Sputnik News political analyst and producer Walter Smolarek joins the show.The hosts continue the regular segment of the worst and most misleading headlines. Brian and John, speak with Steve Patt, an independent journalist whose critiques of the mainstream media have been a feature of his blog Left I on the News, which you can find at lefti.blogspot.com, and Loud & Clear producer Nicole Roussell.

Siamo arrivati alla puntata numero 8, il numero fortunato per eccellenza nella cultura cinese, sia per correlazioni astrali collegate al libro dei Ching, sia perché in cinese l'8 si dice “ba” che assomiglia a “fa”, cioè ricchezza, fortuna, benessere. Addirittura, le Olimpiadi di Pechino iniziarono proprio l'8 agosto 2008 alle 8 di sera.Intanto, gli eventi in Asia Nord-Orientale si susseguono rapidamente: non si erano ancora spenti gli echi della visita di Kim Jong-un a Pechino e due giorni fa è arrivata la notizia che Corea del Nord e del Sud terranno il loro primo vertice da oltre un decennio il 27 aprile. Se tutto filerà liscio da qui ad allora, il presidente sudcoreano Moon Jae-in e Kim si incontreranno quindi nella “Casa della Pace” sul lato meridionale del villaggio di confine di Panmunjom. E quello, si auspica, sarà un altro momento chiave. Intanto, però, c'è molto da dire sull'incontro "non ufficiale" tra Kim Jong-un e il presidente cinese Xi Jinping, dalla denuclearizzazione della penisola coreana ai rapporti di forza regionali.PLAYLISTMoranbong – 배우자 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycdDHP7QfWoAM444 – Shen Xian Yao | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aQ6shtZU0g

Vi besöker svenskarna som arbetar i den demilitariserade zonen mellan Nord- och Sydkorea, och tar pulsen på 1700-talets Kanton, handelsmetropolen där Kina mötte Europa. I mer är 60 år har Sverige suttit på första parkett, som fredsövervakare vid gränsen mellan Nord- och Sydkorea. Och trots att fredskommissionen förlorat sin praktiska betydelse sedan tjugo år håller man fortfarande möten varje vecka utan några deltagande nordkoreanska representanter. Vetenskapsradion Historia besöker spökkommissionen i Panmunjom. Det är ju lite tråkigt att arbeta utan att få någon som helst feedback från sin motpart, men det är så det är, berättar Klas Gröndal som arbetat vid kommissionen i den demilitariserade zonen.Dessutom besöker vi 1700-talets Kanton, dåtidens handelsmetropol, dit bland annat Sverige lockades för att handla med kinesiskt porslin, té och siden. Historikern Lisa Hellman har undersökt hur den här tidiga globaliserade staden egentligen fungerade på markplanet, i de personliga möten som skedde mellan svenska och kinesiska handelsmän för nära 300 år sedan.Programledare är Tobias Svanelid.
