Japan's "laws on emergency" under fire

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 28 (KCNA) -- The "laws on emergency" adopted by Japan recently are a modern version of the "law on national general mobilization" which the Japanese imperialists used for their war of continental aggression in the past and they are, in essence, war laws. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed commentary.
    It goes on:
    The Japanese reactionaries' frantic arms build-up and the sphere of overseas activities of the "Self-Defense Forces" (SDF) have gained in alarming dimension. In this course the SDF has been further organized and modernized. This indicates that the SDF has developed to be full-fledged regular and offensive armed forces, not forces for "exclusive defence."
    The passage of the "laws on emergency" practically nullified Japan's line of "exclusive defense" and reduced the "peace constitution" to a dead one.
    The "defense" on the lips of the Japanese authorities is nothing but a version of attack and aggression.
    The Japanese reactionaries zealously encourage the U.S. imperialists in their moves to escalate the tensions on the Korean peninsula and deliberately bedevil the DPRK Japan relations in a bid to step up their policy to stifle the DPRK.
    Their moves for aggression will, however, only precipitate another shameful defeat.
