I was able to read one of your articles, "China Says Navy Drills in Sea of Japan is Routine," and I found a terrible error marking ‘East sea’ as ‘Sea of Japan’ several times in the text, photo, and the title. East sea has been Korea’s territory since the 6th century, when Dokdo was found. Dokdo-an island located in the middle of East sea- belongs to Korea’s jurisdiction as well as the East sea. The history proves that Dokdo belongs to Korea; for example the Imperial edict No. 41, established in 1900 is clearly stating that Dokdo belongs to Korean territory. Also Korean armies are dispatched to take care of the island.

However, the Japanese government is continuously claiming that Dokdo is part of Japan, providing old documents as evidence. This cannot be a fair nor true basis that proves Japan’s claim since Japan damaged tons of Korea’s historical materials over the 35 years they forcibly ruled over Korea. They are just arguing with hardly acceptable evidences and using their diplomatic position to make absurd claims.
