Commenting on this, Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says Japan is sadly mistaken if it thinks it can grab other's land by this method.

Tok Islets have belonged to Korea, the commentary notes, and goes on:

It has been confirmed in various countries that Tok Islets are not "part of Japanese territory."

It is the invariable ambition of the Japanese reactionaries to stage a comeback to Asia at any cost with the U.S. backing.

The cunning Japanese reactionaries are trying hard to realize their ambition for grabbing Tok Islets, putting forward the U.S. on one hand and resorting to appeasement and deception and pressure on the south Korean puppet forces on the other. But this is a futile act.

Gone are the days never to return when the U.S. and Japanese reactionaries lorded it over on the Korean peninsula.

Tok Islets are not only part of the territory of Korea but ones like the blood and soul of the Korean nation, the sovereignty of reunified Korea and part of its dignity.

The will of the Korean nation to defend the islets is just and stronger than the moves of the Japanese reactionaries to grab the islets.

The Japanese reactionaries' persistent call for "dominium" over Tok Islets is just like a rabid dog barking at the moon.
