Kim Ryo Won, an international security analyst of the DPRK, issued the following article titled "Japan's 'reinvasion' ship will be doomed to sink":

Being preoccupied by the ambition for reinvasion by availing itself of the confrontation current of a "new Cold War" created by the US, Japan gets hell-bent on the reckless moves for turning itself into a military giant, escalating the military tension in the region.

The latest-type attack submarine Chogei (giant whale) to be officially commissioned as a main warship of the Japan Maritime "Self-Defense Force" revealed its shape on the sea on October 4.

This submarine is the fifth of those eight attack submarines of Taigei (big whale) type planned to be built till 2030. Reportedly this ship has been further improved than existing ones in terms of displacement, submergence capability and search function and it was also designed to launch heavy torpedoes and anti-warship missiles.

Japan, which is draining the sea of its resources by randomly hunting whales under international protection for food, now launches menacing entities transformed into "monster whales" into the sea. This is another dangerous act of harming the regional security environment.

Japan has built attack submarines one after another since it established a system of 22 submarines in 2022. Such moves were prompted by its intention to increase the promptness and effectiveness of preemptive attack by loading on those submarines long-range missiles and guided missiles to be newly developed and, at the same time, to enhance the naval operation capability and thus seize the naval supremacy.

This goes to prove that Japan is still seeking its ambition for "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere".

Japan is getting frantic in its attempt to possess aircraft carriers, new-type Aegis warships and latest submarines, develop various kinds of missiles and new-generation fighters and deploy these ultra-modern offensive weapons. The military expansion of Japan extending into all spheres such as outer space, sea and cyber, arouses serious concern not only in the international community but also in Japan itself.

The Japanese reactionaries have named their newly-built warships after such notorious warships as Taigei involved in the aggressive war in the last century. The fact vividly shows the present nature of the Japan Maritime "SDF" closely resembling the old Japanese navy and their yearning for the past and revanchism.

Japan's final aim of vociferating about "threat from its neighbouring countries" so often is also to cover up with a veil of lawfulness and rightness its extremely adventurous and provocative moves for arms buildup, which have systematically violated the regional geopolitical security balance, zealously pursuant to the US policy.

Far from liquidating the unprecedented blood-stained crimes committed against the peoples of the Asian countries in the last century, Japan, a war criminal state, is running headlong along a reinvasion track, throwing away the veil of "pacifist country" and "exclusive defense", with the wild ambition to become the "leader" of the region again. Its arms buildup comes to the surface as the biggest threat seriously disturbing the regional peace and stability.

Japan is gradually widening the radius of its military operations in the Asia-Pacific region while talking about "the harshest and most complicated security environment after the war". Such action will only invite serious distrust and antipathy of regional countries and, inevitably, lead to the geopolitical and strategic isolation of the island country.

Japan's "reinvasion" ship, which is making the ocean dirty, pursuant to the US trying to use its junior allies as the puppets dashing to the jaws of death and as bullet shields for maintaining its hegemony, will be doomed to sink.

The end of the Imperial Japanese Army teaches this.
