Dokdo: An Unjustified Japanese Claim

The series is the joint project of The Korea Times and the Northeast Asian History Foundation. ― ED.

Dokdo has been changed to Liancourt Rocks by many map makers in the United States and Europe. The outsiders have chosen a neutral name, neither Korean nor Japanese, perhaps because of the Japanese government''s campaign. The Japanese influence on map makers is apparently more powerful than Korea''s.
My friends and I made a serious campaign to the National Geographic and other map makers to use Sea of Japan with East Sea for the sea between Japan and Korea. We succeeded. Now, the same National Geographic uses Dokdo with Takeshima. We protested, but the National Geographic said: We try to be neutral or fair to Japan, as we tried to be fair to Korea.
