The editorial recalled the visit to Yasukuni Shrine paid by high-ranking officials and more than 90 Dietmen of Japan on August 15.

Arousing growing concerns are the moves for reviving militarism on the part of the defeated nation Japan, the editorial said.

It added that now in progress in Japan are the moves to revise constitution for the reorganization of the "Self-Defense Forces" into the national defence forces and for bestowing them with the ability for carrying out military operations in case of contingency.

The call for revising the pacifist constitution in secret as Nazi Germany did brought to light the true nature of the Japanese government, the editorial noted, adding:

More serious is that the U.S. is abetting Japan's militarization to meet its own interests.

Japan's renewed militarization moves pose constant threats to the Korean Peninsula that has suffered from lingering danger of war.
