Timed to coincide with this, Japan and the U.S. held joint military drill on Guam in the west Pacific and on an island of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Minju Joson Tuesday in a bylined commentary brands this as a reckless war provocation exercise aimed at attack and aggression.

Disclosing the sinister intention of Japan in getting zealously involved in the joint drill with the U.S. forces in the Asia-Pacific region, the commentary goes on:

The U.S. seeks to shift the focus of its military strategy to the Asia-Pacific and hold military hegemony in the region. Here it is going to use Japan as a major ally.

It is for this reason that the U.S. has left no means untried to tighten military nexus with Japan.

Japan, on the other hand, moves to put the U.S. aim to effective use for realizing its ambition for becoming a military giant and launching reinvasion.

The Japanese reactionaries aim to step up its drive for emerging a military power and boosting military capabilities for launching overseas invasion by availing themselves of the present situation in which the U.S. needs its help for realizing the Asia-Pacific strategy.

The strengthening of military tie-up between Japan and the U.S. is a dangerous military act of seriously harassing regional peace and stability. So this can never be justified.

The Japanese reactionaries' moves to emerge a military power and realize its militarist ambition for overseas expansion backed by the U.S. is a wild dream that can never come true.

The Asian people will never tolerate Japan's moves to follow in the footsteps of its predecessors who committed hideous crimes.
