Japan's Quest for Regional Military Supremacy Blasted

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, January 24 (KCNA) -- Japan decided to launch two spy satellites this year in a bid to use them and those two already on orbit for putting the DPRK under its intensive watch and additionally deploy even an unmanned U.S.-made reconnaissance plane in Japan. Minju Joson today observes in a signed commentary in this regard: This is a clear indication that Japan is hell bent on the moves to neutralize the DPRK's self-reliant defence capability and bolster its capability for a preemptive attack on the latter.
    Japan regards it as an essential requirement for acquiring the capability to mount a preemptive attack to develop the missile defence system. This is clearly evidenced by the recent remarks made by the director-general of the Japan Defense Agency that Japan's possession of two Aegis equipped with "standard-3 interceptor missiles" would make it possible to defend its archipelago.
    What should not be overlooked is the fact that Japan is citing "threat from China" as a pretext for further strengthening the system of its military cooperation with the U.S. in a bid to expand its sphere of military activities without limit.
    It is the intention of Japan to offer its military facilities including ports and airfields to the U.S., considering even a dispute to occur not only on the Korean Peninsula but in the far away Taiwan Straits as an "emergency in areas surrounding Japan." It has already begun laying a legal groundwork for doing so.
    This goes to prove that Japan is keen to acquire an unchallenged position in the Asia-Pacific region by realizing a military nexus and cooperation with the U.S. and, furthermore, dominate this region.
    Japan's policy for military supremacy aimed at conquering Asia and putting it under its control should be checked and frustrated without fail, the commentary concludes.
