Japan's Base Anti-DPRK Campaign Assailed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, February 21 (KCNA) -- The Japanese reactionaries are escalating their anti-DPRK ruckus, talking a lot about effective sanctions and pressure upon the DPRK and its international isolation. Japan's call for "sanctions" and "pressure" under the absurd pretext will only disclose before the world its moral vulgarity and despicable true nature. Rodong Sinmun says this in a signed commentary today.
    It goes on:
    Recently Japan adopted it as its state policy to apply sanctions against the DPRK by passing the amendment to the law on foreign exchange through its Diet, a law which provides for unilaterally applying sanctions against the DPRK without any UN resolution or international agreement. This is a reckless anti-DPRK hostile act intended to lead the DPRK-Japan relations of hostility and confrontation to the extreme pitch of tension. The Japanese reactionaries should know that if they brandish the old stick of "sanctions" and "pressure" put in their hands by the U.S., toeing its line, it will entail serious consequences.
    Japan still remains the sworn enemy of the Korean people. The Japanese reactionaries' increased frenzy will only add to its crimes. This would be little short of putting Japan's security in jeopardy of their own accord.
    Japan is greatly mistaken if it calculates it can wrest something from the DPRK by escalating sanctions and pressure upon it with the six-way talks at hand.
    The Japanese reactionaries should behave with reason, not forgetting the saying as you sow, so shall you reap.
