Japan's Moves to Build Missile Shield under Fire

   Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- The Japan Defense Ministry recently conducted a field survey of the central part of Tokyo for deploying "PAC-3" of the "Self-Defense Forces" (SDF) in the capital. This indicates that Japan is working hard to complete the building of a missile shield at an early date by accelerating the establishment of the ground missile defence system, keeping pace with that of the marine MD which has already entered a full-fledged stage. Minju Joson Wednesday observes this in a signed commentary.
    It goes on:
    Japan is showing such unusual zeal in building the missile shield not because it feels a sort of "security threat" from someone, but because it is keen to become a military power by effectively availing itself of the U.S. moves to establish the MD in a bid to overpower China and emerge a "leader" in Asia.
    Japan has now become part of the forces for the implementation of the U.S. strategy for world domination, i.e. the most important base for carrying out the U.S. strategy for dominating Asia-Pacific.
    The U.S. is pushing forward its moves to build the East European missile shield in the Czech Republic and Poland and set up the same type missile shield in Japan.
    This proves that Japan's moves to build the missile shield being stepped up under the active backing of the U.S. is, in the final analysis, to serve the purposes of military pressure and preemptive attack against the DPRK and its neighboring powers including Russia and China.
    Japan's involvement in the U.S. MD is as foolish an act as pricking its own eyes. Its move to deploy missiles for preemptive attack in the capital city, in particular, is little short of allowing it to be the primary target of rival forces.
