Noting the situation on the Korean peninsula has reached the brink of nuclear war due to the persistent hostile policy of the U.S., the statement said:

It is a revelation of its sinister design to subdue the DPRK by nukes that the U.S. kicked off the largest-ever-scale joint air drill simulating an actual war after bringing its major strategic assets to the Korean peninsula.

The issue of the Korean peninsula remains unsettled due to the decades-long hostile policy of the U.S. toward the DPRK.

The U.S. should not run wild, facing up to the will of the DPRK.

It should stop the risky war drumbeats at once.

All officials of our association and other Koreans in China will turn out as one in the just struggle to resolutely foil the U.S. and its vassal forces' military provocation together with the army and people in the homeland.
