Rodong Sinmun Thursday says in an article in this regard:

The "government-general in Korea" was a repressive machine to politically dominate and oppress the Korean people. It was also a brigandish mechanism for economic exploitation aimed to put under control the main economic arteries of Korea by relying on the military strong-arm politics as well as a ruling tool for oppressing and exterminating the national education and culture of Korea.

Citing facts to prove that the Japanese imperialists pursued unprecedented fascist repression and terror politics throughout Korea and brutally and mercilessly suppressed and killed Korean people, the article goes on:

This being a hard reality, the Japanese reactionaries have gone desperate in their efforts to shirk the responsibility while denying and beautifying the historical facts, far from honestly admitting and making reparations for their past aggression crimes.

The present chief executive of Japan made wordplay at the "statement marking the 70th anniversary of the defeat of Pacific war" where he refused to mention such words as sincere admission and apology for the aggression history.

The Japanese reactionaries are working hard to attain their old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" through the revision of the "Japan-U.S. Defence Cooperation Guidelines" and institution of the "security legislation".

If Japan opts to take the road of militarist reinvasion while persistently evading the liquidation of its past crimes and distorting the aggression history, it would have to pay an indescribably higher price than the defeat it suffered seven decades ago.
