Rodong Sinmun Thursday observes in a bylined commentary in this regard:

This is a clear proof that the Japanese reactionaries are working in real earnest to turn Japan into a major military power and launch overseas expansion in collusion with the U.S. in a bid to realize their ambition for reinvasion at any cost.

The Japanese reactionaries are so keen on military cooperation with the U.S. in a bid to pave the road of reinvasion.

This is clearly evidenced by the fact that Japan is much interested in the joint use of drill facilities in Philippines.

This is a new military move of Japan which means that it would have a forward base abroad. This is an indication that Japanese militarism is embarking upon the road of overseas aggression.

The U.S.-Japan joint use of the base in the Asia-Pacific region is aimed to contain China. Therefore there is a call for China's vigilance.

Japan's ambition for overseas expansion is a daydream.

There is no country in Asia which allows Japan to look down to.

The Japanese reactionaries should know Asian countries do not forget even a moment the misfortune and sufferings they underwent due to the Japanese imperialists' aggression in the past.

Japan's moves to become a military giant and launch overseas expansion will bring it nothing but ruin, warns the commentary.
