朝鲜谴责韩国部署萨德

 　　PYONGYANG, July 30 (Xinhua) -- After Seoul and Washington decided¹ in early July to introduce the Terminal High Altitude Air Defense², or THAAD, onto the Korean Peninsula, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) immediately voiced strong condemnation³ and even threatened to take "physical countermeasures" to deal with the missile system.

　　Pyongyang has in response emphasized that the introduction of the anti-missile shield would only exacerbate⁴ tension in the region, encourage a new round of arms race and even provoke another Cold War. Official media outlets⁵ have reported extensively protests and opposition⁶ within South Korea.

　　The DPRK's National Peace Committee of Korea said that fierce opposition and large-scale protests in South Korea were "an eruption⁷ of hatred⁸ and resentment⁹" toward Seoul's decision to host the THAAD system.

　　DPRK condemns¹⁰ THAAD deployment¹² on Korean Peninsula"Owing to the Park group's foolish decision to deploy¹¹ THAAD, South Korea is now being reduced to a U.S. outpost for aggression¹³ and a hotbed of a nuclear war," the committee said in a statement criticizing South Korean President Park Geun-hye and her government regarding the missile interceptor.

　　The Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the DPRK, a committee in charge of handling inter-Korean relations, even bluntly called Park "a traitor," blaming her for selling off interests of the whole Korean nation and harming regional peace and stability by making the decision on THAAD deployment.

　　The committee accused Park of catering¹⁴ to the U.S. demand and offering the Korean Peninsula to foreign forces by agreeing to deploy the anti-missile shield.

　　The state-run news agency KCNA earlier slammed Park's decision on THAAD in a commentary, claiming that deploying¹⁵ the battery in South Korea gives Washington an excuse to maintain its military presence on the peninsula, which has existed for more than seven decades, and will further the split of the Korean nation.

　　The KCNA also rebuffed South Korea's assertion that THAAD is simply of defensive¹⁶ nature, stressing that "with no rhetoric¹⁷ can it cover up its aggressive nature as a harasser¹⁸ of global peace and stability."The Korean Central News Agency called the THAAD deployment "a risky¹⁹ military move that may bring a new Cold War to Asia Pacific," saying that it aimed to "upset regional strategic balance and contain China and Russia by force directly.""It is the U.S. ulterior purpose to neutralize²⁰ the attack capability²¹ of rapidly developing Asian countries, specifically the regional powers, through its missile shield and thus hold political, economic and military hegemony in the region," it said.

　　The state media also expressed concerns that the move may spark an arms race, create a military bloc²², and spark a new Cold War in the Asia Pacific.

　　Rodong Sinmun, the most influential²³ newspaper in the DPRK, rebuked²⁴ Seoul's claim that THAAD does not target any third country and only serves to protect the country from the North's missile and nuclear threat, saying that the rhetoric was "sheer sophism²⁵."The party newspaper said that behind the deployment of THAAD to South Korea was the U.S. aim to "hold supremacy²⁶ in Northeast Asia and contain countries around the Korean Peninsula with a military edge," and that judgement is broadly shared around the world.

　　Minju Joson, an official newspaper with the DPRK's cabinet, held the opinion that the Park government made such a rush decision to introduce the anti-missile shield in order to find a way to tide over its severe ruling crisis by hyping up threats from the North and confrontation²⁷ between the two sides of the Korean peninsula.

　　Meanwhile, the THAAD deployment will be of no help at all in addressing the denuclearization issue of the Korean Peninsula. In the wake of the THAAD decision, Pyongyang has repeatedly stressed that the DPRK will further bolster²⁸ nuclear deterrence²⁹ in quality and quantity and will "do everything it can to defend its sovereignty and dignity."Deploying THAAD in South Korea makes the already intense situation on the Korean Peninsula even more complicated and more uNPRedictable.

　　But one thing is sure: this move, as said by the DPRK official media, renders South Korea itself a primary attack target and all South Korean cannot but fall victim to the South's dangerous act.
