South Korea Upset that Japanese Defense White Paper for Children Includes Dokdo on A Map
Here is the latest on the Dokdo front:
South Korea strongly protested the inclusion of a map indicating South Korea’s easternmost islets of Dokdo as Japanese territory in Tokyo’s newly created defense white paper for children, the foreign ministry said Monday.
Lee Sang-ryeol, the director-general for Asia Pacific affairs, and Kim Yong-gil, minister at the South Korean Embassy in Tokyo, lodged a protest to Naoki Kumagai, deputy chief of mission at the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, and Taisuke Mibae, deputy director-general of the Japanese foreign ministry’s Asian and Oceanian affairs, respectively.
“They said that in light of our position that Dokdo is our inherent territory historically, geographically and by international law, (the map) can never be accepted, and they urged Japan to immediately delete the document,” the ministry said in a text message to reporters.

I know kids are growing up faster these days, but a defense white paper for children? Even as an adult those are some of the most boring reading, but I guess read as a bedtime story kids will fall asleep fast…
Totally not a cult of lemmings… Totally adult behavior…
Maybe they should look at those videos of Kabul again… Make sure they are ready for the wormies up north instead of playing footsie with Japanese trolls…
it’s sure not hard for the Japanese to troll Koreans, is it?
It’s one “own goal” after another.
