The Japanese authorities are now working with blood-shot eyes to crack down on Chongryon (the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan), a dignified overseas citizens organization, and Koreans in Japan while finding fault with the DPRK's satellite launch for peaceful purposes and nuclear test for self-defense, the statement said, and went on:

Such moves are triggering off surging resentment of all Koreans as they are reminiscent of the barbarous mass killings of Koreans committed by Japan after the great Kanto quake 90 years ago.

The officials of the Association of Young Koreans in China and all young Koreans in China bitterly condemn on behalf of all Koreans the Japanese authorities' reckless suppression of Chongryon and Koreans in Japan as an unpardonable political challenge to the DPRK and a grave human rights abuse, a wanton violation of international law.

The Japanese authorities should face up to the trend of the times, stop acting rashly and discontinue the brigandish suppression of Chongryon and Koreans in Japan at once.

The association and all young Koreans in China will intensify the actions against the Japanese reactionaries.
