Japan's Moves to Distort History Denounced

Rodong Sinmun, the leading newspaper of the Democratic People's republic of Korea (DPRK), in a signed commentary on March 1 denounces the Japanese reactionaries for their moves to totally deny the aggression committed by the Japanese imperialists in the past.

The "society for preparing new history textbooks," a Japanese ultra-right reactionary organization, in the new history textbooks for middle school described the aggressive pacific war unleashed by the Japanese imperialists in the past as a "war for greater east Asia to liberate colonies" and the occupation of Korea as "justifiable annexation for the security of Asia."

Recalling that the Japanese reactionaries have long sought to delete the reference to their past aggression from the history textbooks, the commentary says that even the word "aggression" is not used in the recently printed history textbooks.

The commentary goes on:

The Japanese reactionaries leave no means untried to imbue the younger generation with a wrong view on history.

Their printing of distorted history textbooks is not a simple tampering with history.

This is an insult to the Korean and other Asian peoples, victims of the Japanese imperialists' aggression in the past.
