Rodong Sinmun Labels Japan as Barbarous State of 21st Century

Pyongyang, December 10 (KCNA) -- Recently an international meeting was held for peace and prosperity of Asia and the Pacific.

Often heard at the meeting were strong voices branding Japan as a barbarous state which behaves arrogantly and imprudently far from admitting its past crimes and making an apology for the hideous crimes against the Korean nation and Asian countries in the last century.

Rodong Sinmun Monday comments that Japan acts as if it has completely forgotten the thrice-cursed crimes committed in the wake of its illegal occupation of Korea in the last century.

It is an instinctive movement of a brute to rush about unaware of what waits for himself, says the commentary, adding:

The Japanese reactionaries - a herd of beasts in rags of "the Imperial Japanese Army" wielding a Japanese sword to call back the departed soul of "Yasukuni Shrine" - should be mindful that today's Korea is not a weak country trampled because of a lack of national power to defend itself, but a country strong enough to bury the archipelago in the Pacific along with its indelible past crimes.

Crime-ridden Japan, though belatedly, should honestly apologize for, reflect on and make reparation for its hideous past crimes to the Korean nation and the conscience of mankind and give up the daydream of reinvasion without reluctance, if it wants to get rid of its disgrace.

Barbarous Japan should learn first what disgrace and conscience are instead of freaking out.

To do so is the first step to be taken by Japan to undo shackles of crime and enter the bright world. -0-
