Minju Joson Wednesday observes in a signed commentary in this regard:

The objective of the RIMPAC is obviously to take a military and strategic initiative in the Asia-Pacific region, boost the capability to mount a strategic preemptive attack on it for realizing the wild ambition for world hegemony and, at the same time, put political and military pressure upon the countries in the region.

Japan is contemplating openly participating in the above-said multinational joint military exercises, departing from the past practice. Through this it seeks to help the SDF gain experience in military activities through joint military exercises with other countries including the U.S. and expand the sphere of its activities in a bid to round off conditions and capabilities for realizing overseas military expansion.

By making the above-said decision the Japanese reactionaries once again brought to light their true colors as aggressors who watch for a chance to kick off overseas aggression, not dropping their old dream of realizing "the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere".

Their reckless moves for overseas expansion are as foolish an act as jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. The Japanese reactionaries would be well advised to bear this in mind and behave with discretion.
