Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- The recent military moves of the United States have aroused great concern from the international community.
Shortly ago, the Blumberg News said that the U.S. plans to organize special units for containing Russia and China. The units will reportedly be stationed on the islands in the Pacific Ocean east of the Philippines and Chinese Taipei and possess high-precision weapons capable of accurately destroying ground and naval targets including supersonic missiles.
In October, the U.S. secretary of the Army announced a plan envisaging the deployment of two special units in the Pacific region which can conduct intelligence, electronic, cyber and missile operations against China. He said that the units will be deployed within two years and this is because "China will emerge as a strategic threat to the U.S."
The U.S. gives spurs to increasing its military muscle, complaining that it is left behind than the powers in the Asia-Pacific region in terms of the development of a series of strategic weapons.
In December last year, the U.S. secretary of Defense said the U.S. will concentrate its efforts on the competition with China and Russia, as it is far behind Russia in the development of supersonic missile and it is now trying hard to catch up with others.
A high-ranking official of the U.S. military said that the U.S. army should develop at the same speed as its potential rival, and made it known that the U.S. is now engaged in the modernization of its inter-continental ballistic missiles, submarines and strategic bombers. This is just part of the military measures taken by the U.S.
According to foreign reports, the U.S. has drastically increased investment in the U.S. military intelligence agencies in its military budget for 2020, organizations which are in charge of the collection of information through spy satellites and the organization and command of spy activities abroad including China and Russia.
Meanwhile, the U.S. unilaterally withdrew from the treaty on the elimination of the intermediate-range and shorter-range missiles while hyping up "Russia's violation of the treaty" and "missile threat from China". It, availing itself of this opportunity, conducted various kinds of missile tests.
In connection with this, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry commented that the U.S. real intention is to develop at will advanced missiles for containing China and Russia and, furthermore, obtain an unchallenged military edge, free from restrictions.
In the recent meeting of the collegium of the Defense of Russia, the minister said that the intermediate missile tests conducted by the U.S. Defense Department proved the fact that the U.S. developed missile system which was prohibited in the treaty even during when the treaty was valid. From a logical viewpoint, the missiles will be deployed in the EU and the East, he noted.
The world media and experts maintain that the U.S. is trying to contain potential rivals in the Asia-Pacific region and realize its ambition to dominate the world. -0-
