Because it says so much about the future of the regime and its nuclear weapons programme. Or at least, it raises some intriguing questions.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, does this mean that she has been chosen as Kim Jong Un&#8217;s successor and will one day be running North Korea? Quite possibly. This is a family dynasty, meaning Mr Kim will want one of his children to take the reins.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, why unveil her now? She is still very young. If he is preparing her to take over, could this mean the 38-year-old leader has health issues? His health is the subject of much speculation, as it is seen to present the biggest risk to the stability of the regime.<\/p>\n<p>And thirdly, what does this say about North Korea&#8217;s nuclear weapons programme?<\/p>\n<p>Unveiling her at such a significant launch suggests she will one day play a role in developing the country&#8217;s weapons. Recently Mr Kim announced that he would not, under any circumstance, be giving up his nuclear weapons. This is a way of showing the world his nukes are here to stay, through to the next generation.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Madden, a North Korea expert from the Stimson Center in Washington, told the BBC he believed Chu-ae was aged between 12 and 13.<\/p>\n<p>He said the public appearance could be Mr Kim&#8217;s way of showing &#8220;that the fourth generation of power succession is going to come through my [blood]line&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In September, several North Korea experts reported that Chu-ae was shown in a video at the country&#8217;s National Day celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>But this was speculation, and the North Korean leadership did not confirm that it was indeed the leader&#8217;s daughter.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"caas-figure\">\n<div class=\"caas-figure-with-pb\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"caas-img-container caas-img-loader\"><img class=\"caas-img caas-lazy has-preview\" alt=\"North Korea&#039;s leader Kim Jong-un is seen standing hand-in-hand with his daughter in this photo released by KCNA news agency\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/39d449ee71b24dc1f17b1a30c595ba7a\" src \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"North Korea&#039;s leader Kim Jong-un is seen standing hand-in-hand with his daughter in this photo released by KCNA news agency\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/39d449ee71b24dc1f17b1a30c595ba7a\" class=\"caas-img\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><figcaption class=\"caption-collapse\">North Korea&#8217;s leader Kim Jong-un is seen standing hand-in-hand with his daughter in this photo released by KCNA news agency<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>The first time Chu-ae&#8217;s existence was ever mentioned was in 2013, after retired American basketball star Dennis Rodman made a controversial trip to North Korea.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Rodman said he had spent time with Mr Kim&#8217;s family, relaxing by the sea and had &#8220;held their baby Chu-ae&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Experts believe Mr Kim may have as many as three children &#8211;
