What is Japan afraid of?
Recently, fear has raged in Japan, caused by the tests of North Korea's ballistic missiles. These tests arouse apprehension in Japan's own safety by the fact that missiles are falling in the exclusive economic zone of the country, near the territories of its islands. In 2006, the Japanese government imposed its own sanctions against the DPRK, and banned the "ManGyongBong" ferry from entering the Japanese ports that had previously shuttled between the DPRK and Japan. But this year, the modernized "ManGyongBong" ferry began to enter the Russian port in Vladivostok. Japan and the US have seriously angered actions of Russia, which prevented putting pressure on the DPRK, developing economic cooperation with it.
Under the influence of Washington, the government of Japan set the task for its broadcasters to prove Russia's involvement in helping North Korea's aggressive policy and destabilizing the situation in the world. The biggest activity is shown by the largest Japanese television and radio company NHK, especially in its branch in Vladivostok. NHK is trying to find all possible evidence to blame Russia for deliveries of prohibited goods to the DPRK, including parts of ballistic missiles.
It should be noted that Russia opposes nuclear tests and buildup the nuclear power of the DPRK, but believes that exerting economic pressure on North Korea can only exacerbate the situation both in the Asia-Pacific region and throughout the world. Commenting on one of the launches of North Korean ballistic missiles, President Putin said: "This is impermissible, but it is necessary to resume the dialogue." He stressed: "We should not intimidate the DPRK, but should strive for a peaceful settlement."
Such a peaceful policy of Russia towards the DPRK evokes resentment from the US government, which in every possible way tries to impose on Japan the view that it is necessary to coordinate joint efforts not only against the actions of North Korea, but also Russia. So far, Japan, through its own media network, is trying to prove that Russia's policy towards the DPRK is "splitting the international community", and provoke Russia to act jointly with Japan and the US against North Korea. However, maybe Japan should not follow the policy of the US so zealously and review its relations with the DPRK, because "better a lean peace than a fat victory"?

Under the influence of Washington, the government of Japan set the task for its broadcasters to prove Russia's involvement in helping North Korea's aggressive policy and destabilizing the situation in the world. The biggest activity is shown by the largest Japanese television and radio company NHK, especially in its branch in Vladivostok. NHK is trying to find all possible evidence to blame Russia for deliveries of prohibited goods to the DPRK, including parts of ballistic missiles.

The main problem is the presence of thousands of North Korean workers in Vladivostok, who were sent there to earn money for the state. Japan wants North Korea completely isolated from the international community but Russia is economically benefiting the rogue regime by letting its workers in, thus getting around economic sanctions. While it's inconceivable for Russia to assist North Korea's illegal activities directly, the money sent home is being spent on nuclear and missile programs.

The Russian city of Vladivostok on the Pacific Ocean, however, has eagerly embraced a new icon of border-crushing globalization: the North Korean painter.

Unlike migrant workers in much of the West, destitute decorators from North Korea are so welcome that they have helped make Russia at least the equal of China — Pyongyang’s main backer — as the world’s biggest user of labor from the impoverished yet nuclear-armed country.

“They are fast, cheap and very reliable, much better than Russian workers,” Yulia Kravchenko, a 32-year-old Vladivostok homemaker, said of the painters. “They do nothing but work from morning until late at night.”

The work habits that delight Vladivostok homeowners are also generating sorely needed cash for the world’s most isolated regime, a hereditary dictatorship in Pyongyang closing in on a nuclear weapon capable of hitting the United States. Just last week, the North reached a milestone by testing its first intercontinental ballistic missile.

Squeezed by international sanctions and unable to produce many goods that anyone outside North Korea wants to buy — other than missile parts, textiles, coal and mushrooms — the government has sent tens of thousands of its impoverished citizens to cities and towns across the former Soviet Union to earn money for the state.
