North Korea would intensify anti-US education among its young soldiers and ordinary citizens as it is a strong ideological weapon against the war moves and sanctions by Washington, China's Xinhua news agency reported, citing an official daily on Monday.

Rodong Sinmum, the official daily of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea, said in an editorial that the United States is making desperate efforts to deprive the North Korea of its sovereignty, and the right to existence and development after the latter has developed nuclear and missile capacities.

"If anti-US class consciousness is paralyzed among the younger generations, the revolution would be left unfinished and the whole nation would be slave of the US imperialists," it said.

The editorial also said the United States is "afraid of the ideological and moral strength of the army and people of the North Korea equipped with transparent class consciousness."

Anti-US education and propaganda are prevailing in the North Korea which regards the United States as its bitterest enemy in the world with aggression wars, miliary occupation of the southern part of the peninsula, and constant war threats and economic blockade through UN sanctions.

The North Korea has reacted furiously to the remarks made by US President Donald Trump against the North Korea, in particular the threat to "totally destroy" the country, when he made a speech at the UN General Assembly last month.
