Japan's Defence Program Outlines Assailed
Korean Central News Agency of DPRK
Pyongyang, December 21 (KCNA) -- Japan has decided on new "National Defence Program Outlines". This is a move as dangerous as whipping up a war chariot of militarism toward overseas aggression.
Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed commentary.
In the "outlines" the Japanese reactionaries have changed the "exclusive defence strategy" into a definite offensive strategy, which means the total lifting of the scores of years-long post-war "restrictions" on Japan's military actions, the commentary points out, and goes on:
What merits more serious attention is that they in the "outlines" stressed the need to cope with the "threat" from the DPRK and China. Their claim that Japan is exposed to "threat" from the DPRK and China is a sheer lie and it serves as a war slogan intended to put into practice the ambition for "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere", taking advantage of the U.S. policy for stifling the DPRK.
The DPRK has never posed any "military threat" to Japan and the Korean people don't want tense situation and military conflicts in Asia including the Korean Peninsula.
In the long run, Japan cited the "threat" from the DPRK as a pretext for justifying the new "National Defence Program Outlines". This is an expression of Japan's long-standing design to invade Korea. This reveals its criminal attempt to realize its ambition in the 21st century at any cost.
The Japanese militarist forces seek to swallow up the DPRK and then China as in the past. They are working hard to realize their ambition for re-aggression through joint military operations with the United States. This has been clearly evidenced by the fact that the new "outlines" provide for the right to collective self-defence.
