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

The ulterior aim sought by Japan in noisily peddling the non-existent issues of territories of its neighboring countries is to expand its territory by grabbing territories of other countries.

The present Japanese authorities' hysteria over territorial disputes is obviously part of their campaign to revive the operations to usurp other countries' territories in the past era of the Japanese imperialists and moves to expand their territory.

Japan is becoming increasingly assertive for the claim to Tok Islets, part of the inviolable territory of Korea recognized by historical facts and international law. This is designed to grab this part of the territory of Korea at any cost.

The Japanese authorities are now distributing the maps on which Tok Islets are marked as part of Japan's territory in a bid to implant the distorted historical facts into the minds of the young Japanese.

Moreover, the Japanese reactionaries again stipulated in the "2010 defense white paper" that Tok Islets are part of the territory of Japan.

Japan keeps so greedy eye on Tok Islets of Korea or the Southern Kurils of Russia and so on because they are located in the places of great military and geographical importance.

Japan is a war criminal state which launched a war to occupy large territories of Asian countries, advocating "the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere" in the past and the only country in the world which has dodged settling its past crimes.

Japan would be well advised to realize that it is a wise option for it to awake from a pipe dream of territorial aggrandizement.
