This is just a manifestation of the sinister design of the Japanese ruling quarters hell-bent on the moves to seize the island, says Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a commentary.

The commentary goes on:

In January last a ceremony for opening an exhibition house for territorial sovereignty was given in the middle of Tokyo Metropolis to advertise Japan's "dominium over Tok Island".

Paragraphs containing such claim were stipulated in such documents as a diplomatic blue book and a defense white paper.

Not content with it, the Japanese regime posted such absurd and impudent words on its Cabinet Secretariat's website.

Citing facts to prove that Tok Island is just a part of the inalienable territory of the Korean nation, the commentary says:

Nevertheless, the Japanese reactionaries are insisting that the island is "a part of their territory", touting "illegal occupation."

Their racket to seize others' territory against historical truth and international principle has reached the height of wild greed and impudence.

They are loudly talking about "dominium over Tok Island", only to come under criticism by the international community. Lurking behind it is an ill-minded intention to justify their criminal moves for reinvasion, on which various countries are keeping their sharp eyes, by giving impression that there exists an "issue of territorial dispute" between the DPRK and Japan.

The Japanese reactionaries' distortion of history is just a prelude to their territorial expansion and overseas invasion.

However, "dominium over Tok Island" touted by them is just a wild dream that can never come true.

Japan's desperate moves to grab the island will only harden the will of the Korean nation to surely force the sworn enemy to pay dearly for the past crimes, out of towering hatred towards Japan.
