韓国、反日工作が裏目に…　米で広がる「竹島」「独島」併記
Korea, anti-Japan work in a backfire…　"Takeshima" "Tok-do" writing together opening with rice
Korea is upset by an unexpected boomerang. After pushing forward exercise to write "Tokai" whom the Korean government insists on with "the Sea of Japan" jointly to an American textbook, the movement that "Takeshima" and "the Tok-do" of the Korea name which Korea occupies in reports of the U.S. Congressional Research Service illegally are written jointly opens. Should I say retribution to only a neighboring country to dash for in "anti-Japan propaganda?"….

Japan is that an international dispute abuses the issue of Tok-do to becoming it and is concerned about


The Korean paper "Korea daily report" mentioned that there was movement to write "Tok-do" together with "Takeshima" in the United States on February 20 and appealed for caution when "it might be in an important variable about the future Tok-do notation as for the report to affect the policy making and the legislation process of the U.S. government".

In the report about North Korea which the U.S. Congressional Research Service announced in this January, it is "Tok-do / Takeshima" and notation in English on a used map. I write three names including "the re-Ann Kool reef" which U.S. place name Committee assumes a standard name jointly, but transcribe "Takeshima" in the report of last August earlier than "Tok-do

Furthermore, I transcribe it in the net map of association of authoritative National Geographic (headquarters, Washington) with "Tok-do / Takeshima". It may be said that it was checked in the description that is advantageous to the Japan side if I think about "Tok-do" (Takeshima, re-Ann cool reef) and a thing written down on the map which the association published in 2009.

Over a name of the Sea of Japan, the Houses of Parliament of U.S. Virginia just approved a bill to write "Tokai" jointly to the textbook of the public school building in the state.


In the background where a South Korean group aimed at the bill establishment, there is a claim of the Korea government "to seem to be in the Japanese territorial waters when there is Tok-do in "the Sea of Japan", and not to be appropriate". But it may be said that it is illogical for the Korean side if the movement over the Sea of Japan name leads to writing together of the "Takeshima" "Tok-do".

With such a situation, is sterile "anti-Japan work" in the United States reviewed?

Katsumi Muroya of the journalist that book "senility Korea theory" (Sankei Shimbun publication) becomes the bestseller, as for "them, there will not be "great だ, the thing that make noise when is serious", but restrain activity in the United States". On the contrary, it is said, "you must strengthen more lobbying" and predicts it when I may do it for an excuse of the increase of the allied budget.
