The U.S. stereo-typed trumpeting about "threat from north Korea" is no more than a broad hoax to contain the regional powers which have emerged its potential rivals.

Washington advanced the aggressive pivot to Asia-Pacific policy to realize its wild ambition to dominate the world. It is pursuing the strategy of laying a military siege to its potential rivals in the region, namely China, and containing and pressurizing them. It is plugging Japan and south Korea into its missile shield in a bid to round off its siege to China.

In actuality, the U.S. is going to deploy in south Korea THAAD backed by 1 000 km-range X-band radar system capable of monitoring major areas of China. The strategy of "global rapid strike plan" recently worked out by the U.S. forces set the DPRK and China as its primary targets.

Valery Kistanov, director of the Institute of the Far East of the Russian Academy of Sciences, asserted the U.S. is keen to interfere in all issues in the Asia-Pacific and Washington is tightening its nexus with its allies in Asia and increasing anti-China forces, adding the frequent conflicts in the Asia-Pacific may lead to a war between the U.S. and China, world's biggest military powers.

The U.S. has deployed more than half of its nuclear-powered submarines in the Pacific.

For the purpose of containing regional powers, it has established a naval missile defense system, increased its maneuverability and deployed most of its warships equipped with SM-3 interceptor missiles in the Asia-Pacific to stage various type joint military drills.

The general military strategy of the U.S. in the Asia-Pacific is being carried out in a way of pressurizing potential rivals in the east and west.

The U.S. is leaving no stone unturned to contain them by force of arms. Consequently, the Korean Peninsula and its vicinity and the rest of the Asia-Pacific are now turning into a theatre of hot arms race.

This not withstanding, the U.S. dares accuse the DPRK, floating a story about the non-existent "threat." It is nothing but a brazen-faced and base behavior to cover up its true colors as an arch criminal upsetting the regional military equilibrium and sparking arms race and to shift the blame onto others.

Its scenario to establish a hegemonic order in the Asia-Pacific on the basis of upper-hand of strength is bound to go bankrupt as it was prompted by its anachronistic way of thinking.
