News reports that Japan’s “Self-Defense Forces” are engaged in military exercises with the armies of other countries under the sign of strengthening alliances have been reported one after another, causing concern in the international community.

According to the Foreign Press, the”Self-Defense Forces” recently conducted landing operations training with US forces in Kagoshima Prefecture. Prior to this, the Self-Defense Forces and the British Army began infiltration, reconnaissance, and live-fire training in four prefectures in Japan. Around the same time, special forces from the Japan Self-Defense Forces conducted infiltration training with Australian Army special operations forces. Not only this, the Self-Defense Forces also went abroad to play with fire with Canada, France, and other countries.

To lend credence to this, Japanese officials are deliberately emphasizing and publicizing someone’s military intimidation and maritime expansion.

Currently, Japanese officials are making it a habit to say,”With threats to maritime security increasing, solid solidarity and cooperation are essential for regional stabilization.” And then, to give credibility to this, anyone’s comments are made. They are trying to influence public opinion by emphasizing military coercion and maritime expansion.

Japan constantly justifies their tunnels in this way. But many experts argue that Japan is taunting the world with childish word games, using “military cooperation for security” and “responding to threats” as pretexts for its evil ambitions to spur on military superpower status and re-invasion machinations. Their shared view is that this is where the seriousness and severity of the problem lies.

Japan has been actively encouraging the “Self-Defense Forces” to go abroad to take advantage of the U.S. hegemonic strategy; under the banner of “anti-piracy,” “anti-terrorism,” etc. The “Self-Defense Forces” are now operating around the world, even interfering in other countries’ internal affairs, causing military friction with neighboring nations, and even conducting multi-national military exercises with impunity. Japan’s recent military exercises with the U.S., U.K., and other nations are a continuation of this process.

The concept of the”Self-Defense Forces” as a rudimentary defense capability that is supposed to perform only the function of “defense-in-depth” has changed. In fact, the Self-Defense Forces is now operating with the same status as the armed forces of a civilian nation. Japan, which has yet to escape the stigma of being an “enemy state” at the UN, proudly engages in collective military action with the UK and France, and acts as if it were a normal state.

Having emptied Japan’s Basic Law, which stipulates the permanent renunciation of war and the threat or use of force as an exercise of state power, the absence of land, sea, air, or other war-making capabilities, and the non-recognition of the right of belligerency, it is clear where the nation is headed. It is a reinvasion.

Japan has a history of guilt, of inflicting unbearable misery and suffering on the peoples of Asia, for which it has neither admitted nor apologized, and for which criminals are just as likely to repeat themselves.

The fact that Japan’s reactionary forces have drastically increased their military spending while loudly crying “peripheral threats,” that they have made and are forcing the possession of an enemy base attack capability with the framework of neutralizing military bases and command posts of other countries through preemptive strikes, and that they are proudly conducting military exercises with other countries under the pretext of “military cooperation” are all the realization of the old dream of the”Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere.”

Japan has already set up its own secret intelligence agency to gather information on us and China, in agreement with the U.S., by imitating the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and the British Foreign Intelligence Service, which have their clutches around the world. This year, Japan launched an information-gathering satellite, and plans to continue expanding the number of satellites in the future. At the end of last year, it organized the first reconnaissance air force in the”Self-Defense Forces” to operate a large unmanned surveillance aircraft,”the Global Hawk”, not for defensive purposes, but to serve as a guidepost for aggression, a tool for the United States and its allies. Needless to say, all of this is not for defensive purposes, but for offensive purposes, as a guidepost for aggression.

Now, Japanese reactionaries claim to be doing their best to gather and analyze intelligence on military developments in Korea and China, suggesting that another Japanese invasion is not just a theory, but a reality.

Japanese militarists have miscalculated. The peoples of Asia are keenly watching the reckless maneuvers of Japanese reactionaries bent on reinvasion.

Reinvasion would be Japan’s undoing.
