Nuclear carrier George Washington and a flotilla of Aegis destroyer of the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces kicked off combined maritime drills with the south Korean navy in the South and East seas of Korea despite repeated protest by the DPRK and strong denunciation at home and abroad, the statement said, and went on:

They are mulling staging a large-scale joint maritime drill in the waters off Jeju Island by involving marine forces of Japan.

The Chinese Regional Committee bitterly denounces in the name of the Korean nation the unpardonable war provocation moves of the U.S. to inflict on the Korean nation the disaster of a nuclear war by igniting a new war on the Korean peninsula at any cost.

The present situation clearly shows that the U.S. does not want improved inter-Korean relations and reunification of the Korean peninsula but has a sinister intention only to unleash a new war by escalating tensions at any cost.

The south Korean authorities should behave themselves, clearly understanding the desire of Koreans and the trend of the times.

If the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean group of traitors launch a reckless military provocation despite the DPRK's warning, its army and people will never miss a chance but deal a merciless retaliatory blow at the aggressors.
