KCNA Commentary on Neo-Militarism of Japan

Date: 11/01/2026 | Source: KCNA.kp (En) | Read original version at source

Pyongyang, January 11 (KCNA) -- From the outset of the new year, the present ultra-right ruling forces of Japan are adding a serious danger to the security environment in the region and the rest of the world, openly challenging to the trend of the times and history.

It is a typical example that Japan is working hard to push forward the revision of the three security documents including the "national security strategy" within this year.

The main contents of the three security documents to be amended by Japan this time will include increased "defense cost", revision of the "three principles of denuclearization", cancellation of the restriction on arms export and massive development of offensive military capabilities.

Through it, Japan is mulling to throw away even the mask of "pacifist state" and make it a rule and national policy to evolve into a war state and an aggressor state.

This is a clear revelation of the neo-militarist frenzy to totally deny its past crimes and bring back the era of old empire at any cost through rapid rearmament.

The documents related with security including the "national security strategy" totally contrary to the international law adopted to prevent the revival of militarism after the end of the Second World War and the present constitution which stipulates the abandonment of belligerent rights and non- possession of combat power, are, in fact, far beyond the scope of "exclusive defense" and they are war strategies aimed at overseas expansion as recognized by the international community.

In fact, the "national security strategy" the Abe regime mapped out and announced for the first time in 2013, advocating "strong Japan", has been further modified and supplemented with more aggressive and offensive contents including the acquirement of the "capability of attacking enemy bases" (capability for counterattack) to legalize a preemptive attack on other countries.

The "defense cost" has been increased for 12 consecutive years, surpassing the world's military powers in the rate of its increase, and allotted to the improvement of the capabilities of the SDF forces for war including the development and purchase of various war means.

The present regime has employed all means and methods since its inauguration to realize the "cherished desire" of ultra-right political forces including the revision of the constitution which the former regimes failed to do.

In addition, a new process chart of the main plan for extending the operational sphere and military activities of the SDF even into space has been worked out and a hundred and tens of "powder storehouses" are being newly built on the archipelago to cope with a prolonged war.

What should not be overlooked is that Japan is now trying to turn itself into a nuclear weapons state.

The prime minister officially announced at the outset of the new year the revision of the three security documents including the "national security strategy" within the year amid the mounting nuclear frenzy among the Japanese rulers claiming that Japan should have access to nuclear weapons and no option should be excluded. This is pursuant to the frantic moves of the ultra-right forces for reinvasion to arm the archipelago with new militarism as early as possible.

It is by no means fortuitous that even Japanese media commented it is difficult to guarantee that Japan would not follow the fascist path in the period of militarism again.

The Japanese reactionaries' sinister intention to destroy the regional military balance and emerge as "leader of Asia" by copying the method of the "great Japanese empire", which had started overseas aggression while talking about "external threat", was brought to light.

The neo-militarism, obsessed with hatred for other nations, revanchism and ambition for conquest, started to rise up in the period of the Abe regime and has become rampant in the present era. This is the worst state of emergency in which peace and stability of the world can be harassed and the destiny of mankind slashed.

Japan will face a total destruction only through neo- militarism.

As historically proved, the destination of militarism was ruined Japan, not "strong Japan". -0-
