서론 |
To whoever it may concern:
Recently I bought your book, Collins Discovery World Atlas. ISBN is 9780060818838.
I was quite surprised to find your maps of Korea and Japan still describe Korean territory, Dokdo island as Liancourt Rocks.
Such an error in a well known website as yours comes as a surprise since we regard you as one of the world's best. Using a proper name for this island is not simple question of changing the name of a geographical feature.

| 본론 |
It is rather a part of national effort by the Korean people to erase the legacy of Japanese Imperialism and to redress the unfairness that has resulted from it. It is an absolutely mistaken thing to hear one side of story and follow. If we let this kind of things alone, it brings about a serious problem to disturb order of International society.
Unfortunately, when a country dominates another, the main thing lost is the territory. Such was the case of Korea, when Korea was occupied by Japan (1910~1945). However, After the Second World War, Korea, being liberated from Japan, recovered its territory, including Dokdo. In spite of that history, Japan claimed that Dokdo belonged to Japan distorting historical facts. It's because of Japan's hidden policy of imperialistic expansion
The problem is that those fabrications have been well documented, many Western accept the distorted history of Dokdo as fact including your map. We cannot sit back and watch Japan justify its history of aggression and colonization and pursue hegemonic power, because the issue concerns the future of the Korean Peninsula and Northeast Asia.
If international society pays no attention and connives about Japan's hidden policy of imperialistic expansion, it would pose a great obstacle to amicable relations between all the family of Asia and Japan in the 21st century
As a member of Dokdo cyber organization, I urge you to use Dokdo to describe the name of island near Ulleundgo in East Sea.
