  • Korea and Japan's War of Nerves on Dokdo


    The atmosphere between Korea and Japan on Dokdo is tense.
    Both countries are claiming possession of Dokdo.
    In order to see the historical truth on Dokdo, we need to dive into the past. Japan is claiming Dokdo on the grounds that Japan included Dokdo into Shimane prefecture in 1905.
    However, there are many historical data that prove that Dokdo is Korean territory before 1905.
    In ancient maps and official documents Dokdo is shown as Korean territory. There is evidence that documented the fact that Japanese who fished near Dokdo came to Ulleung island to pay taxes. If Dokdo were Japanese territory, the Japanese would not have to pay taxes to Korea, and would have went straight to Japan.
    Currently, Japan has many territorial disputes with many countries.
    Japan is in disputes with China, the Senkaku islands, with Russia, the Kuril islands, and with Korea, the Dokdo.
    Sooner or later, Japan is going to claim that the whole world is Japanese.
    When will Japan wake up from their imperialistic dreams.

    When will Japan wake up from their imperialistic dreams.
    As opposed to the "imperialistic dreams" of China, Korea (both of them), the Philippines, etc etc.

    Do you have some sort of agenda here?

    The reality in the Pacific is that oceanic resources, and the way international laws have been drafted, makes the possession of otherwise worthless rocks of great importance, and all of the nations are players in this.

              The Economist had a good suggestion the other day for resolving disputes in the region over various islands like these. Just declare them jointly administered nature reserves with no fishing inside the park boundaries. Then agree to exploit any oil/gas reserves outside the park boundaries on an equitable basis. But somehow I doubt common sense will prevail.
              If you are emotionally invested in 'believing' something is true you have lost the ability to tell if it is true.

                People tend to complicate things. They just do. Especially politicians and lawyers

                Ask the prople what they'd prefer :tankie: or :grump:.

                But people don't know what is good for them.

                  Bwahahaha. No offense to Monash but to the premise of the article. Given the inherent enmity the Chinese and Koreans have for the Japanese I can't ever see them working together on a sovereignty issue. To do so would remind them too much of the territory Japan took of theirs decades ago, much less those they killed, and now they just want to stick it to Japan.
