All:
The Nippon empire is up to its old tricks of stealing real estate. They are again laying claim to the Korean Island of Tokdo which lies midway between Korea and Japan in the East Sea. (Note East Sea which is the correct name it should not be called the Sea of Japan.) Korea's claim to Tokdo Island pre-dates Japan's claim by abut 400 years so it is difficult to understand the Nippon thinking. The Russians will not yield to their claims re the South Kuril Islands and the Chinese are in no mood to tolerate much more interference around the Chinese Island of Diaoyus.
They (the Nippons) should get the message that it's not as easy to geographically change history as it is to re-write historical text books.
