Minju Joson Lashes out at Japanese Reactionaries' Moves for Militarist Overseas Expansion

Pyongyang, April 6 (KCNA) -- The Japanese reactionaries have enforced the "security legislation" providing for the exercise of the "right to collective self-defense" since March 29. Minju Joson on Wednesday observes in a commentary in this regard: This shows that the Japanese reactionaries' ambition for overseas aggression has already gone beyond the limit and control. Japan is a criminal war state which invaded Asian countries including Korea in the past, bringing immeasurable misfortune and sufferings to the peoples in this region. The Japanese reactionaries, availing themselves of the US imperialists' Asian strategy, have worked hard to eliminate all political and institutional mechanisms obstructive to gaining the right to fight a war and rush headlong into militarist overseas expansion. Japan put into force the new "security legislation", accusing others under this situation. The Japanese reactionaries are rushing headlong into militarization, vowing to take revenge for its defeat under the mask of "pacifist state." These war drumbeats are adversely affecting the security environment of Asia. Japan's ever-more undisguised moves for militarization will throw itself into a bottomless pitfall of self-destruction. -0-
