KCNA flails Japan for acting shock brigade of U.S.

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) -- Japan is now recklessly acting a shock brigade executing the U.S. policy to stifle the DPRK. Recently it has barred the calls of DPRK-flagged ships at Japanese ports including cargo-passenger ship Mangyongbong which has plied between Wonsan and Niigata, groundlessly charging it with "illegal remittance", "spy mission" and "transportation of nuclear and missile parts." Japan is making a far-fetched assertion that some of the goods it has sold to North Korea were for "double purpose."
    The chief of the independent research institute, the so-called think-tank in Japan, asserted that there is the need to suspect North Korea for ordering a huge amount of goods and buying expensive things sometimes", an expression of Japan's trite hysteria intended to stifle the DPRK.
    Japan is known to be the most calculating and shrewd country in the world. It is, therefore, ludicrous for such a country to call for checking the sale of even secondhand tires and shampoo, labelling them "goods for double purpose" for fear that they be used for military purposes.
    It is the general ethics of commerce that dealings are made in the interests of both parties, be they individuals or countries, and they should refrain from faulting the other after selling or buying goods. Yet, Japan is now saying this or that about goods it has already sold out. This is a base way of thinking peculiar to Japan only.
    It is a publicly recognized fact that Japan's madcap campaign to stifle the DPRK is aimed to support the U.S. in its moves to isolate and stifle the DPRK by internationalizing the nuclear issue, laying an international siege to it and escalating the blockade against it.
    As a sign of Japan's loyalty to its master the U.S. Japan has gone into the lengths of checking the sale of commodities, talking about the "possible use of goods for a civilian purpose for military purpose."
    These facts suffice to prove that the "economic sanctions" publicized by the Japanese reactionaries have reached the phase of implementation.
    The DPRK has already clarified its stand that it would regard any economic sanctions as a declaration of war.
    It is not surprising that Japan kowtows and follows the "superpower" as it is an island country accustomed to meeting its interests in reliance upon a big power. It is an act of adding fuel to the fire for Japan to act a shock brigade executing the U.S. policy to stifle the DPRK.
