Japan is set to work out a final plan on the basis of the outline in the future, specify it in the new defense programme guidelines in December and decide on them at a Cabinet meeting.

Minju Joson Tuesday observes in a commentary in this regard:

Japan's scenario to discard the three principles which it has long observed and join in the international weapon development system is aimed to realize its wild ambition for turning Japan into a military giant.

It is the calculation of the Japanese reactionaries to boost the exchange of military technology and cooperation with other countries in an effort to possess ultra-modern military technological equipment and weapons necessary for turning Japan into a military power, the commentary says, and goes on:

Japan is very busy drafting a bill related to the establishment of the National Security Council of Japanese style and adopting a bill on protecting specified secret.

Explaining the reason for their moves, the Japanese reactionaries claim that they are attributable to the worsening security situation in the areas around Japan due to "China's increasing military spending and north Korea's stepped-up nuclear development".

This is, however, nothing but sophism intended to justify their moves for turning Japan into a military power and launching overseas expansion.

The Japanese reactionaries are scheming to reorganize the state machinery into a wartime system in a bid to provide favorable conditions for provoking and waging a war.

Japan should cogitate about what consequences will be entailed by its reckless moves to bring war disasters to Asia again, concludes the commentary.
