Japanese authorities' moves to check sail of ship "Mangyongbong-92" flailed
KCNA
Pyongyang, June 10 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today carries a signed article slamming the vicious moves of the Japanese reactionaries for economic sanctions against the DPRK.
When the United States fabricated the coordinating committee for export to communist area in 1949 and set out norms on asset control in 1950, the Japanese reactionaries enforced trade and financial embargo against the DPRK, acting upon them, the article says, and goes on:
Upset by the intensified campaign of the Japanese people demanding the improved DPRK-Japan relations, the Japanese government had no alternative but to allow the DPRK-Japan trade in April 1961.
The Japanese government did not lift the embargo on direct settlement, one of the important issues in direct trade. This direct settlement could be made only two years after the DPRK-Japan trade was approved.
The Japanese government did not allow the Japanese exporters engaged in the DPRK-Japan trade to use export bank loans. It did not lift the ban on DPRK traders and technicians' visits to Japan.
Japan has consistently applied high rate customs to export goods from the DPRK, part of its economic blockade against the DPRK.
While applying "preferential tariff" to other developing countries, Japan is not doing so to the DPRK but imposing the most unfavorable "state tariff" upon it.
Japan took the lead in the "collective sanctions" against the DPRK as a shock brigade executing the U.S. policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK in the 1990s. Worse still, it wooed international organizations to intensify economic blockade against the DPRK, peddling the "nuclear suspicion" of the DPRK among them.
Japan has gained nothing from its economic sanctions against the DPRK. This only heightened the Korean people's revolutionary awareness.
