Japanese Reactionaries Slammed for Seeking Overseas Expansion

Pyongyang, December 19 (KCNA) -- Days ago, Tokyo Shimbun carried an article denouncing the Abe regime for its reckless moves for turning Japan into a military giant. Noting that Japan's increase of military expenditure and equipment with military hardware threatening other country are deviation from the principle of "exclusive defense", the article urged the regime to exercise self-restraint. Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a commentary says this is an expression of serious concern about Japan dashing towards militarism. The revision of the national defense guidelines and midterm defense capability buildup outline indicating the main orientation for beefing up military muscle has reached the final stage in Japan, says the commentary, and goes on: Clear is Japan's purpose, which is overseas expansion. The Japanese reactionaries still seek to realize the old dream of the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere". For decades after its defeat, Japan has beefed up its military muscle bit by bit behind the deceptive screen of "defense". As a result, Japan "Self-Defense Forces" have grown to be dangerous forces of aggression with three modern services capable of launching a preemptive attack. The principle of "exclusive defense" advocated by Japan is phony. Japan, a militarist viper that has been desperate for a wild ambition to launch overseas expansion, effuses venom towards the world, free from "restraint". It revived militarism in all fabrics of social life. Its state structure has also been remolded as required by militarism. What remains to be done is the revision of the constitution. If the constitution is revised in a retrogressive manner, Japan will be a war-capable country in the true sense of the word. Japan's reinvasion is a matter of time. |
