A US government agency has reversed its recent decision to refer to a small island claimed by both Japan and South Korea as no longer belonging to any country, and will continue calling it South Korean territory.

Last week, the US Board on Geographic Names changed its designation of the island from South Korean to non-designated sovereignty. South Korea strongly protested the decision.

takeshima is a small uninhabited island, isn't it? destroy it with many explosives, and there will be no arguments.

I hear the argument is actually more over ocean rights granted by Takeshima then Takeshima itself. The surrounding fisheries are very valuable.

Those Korean extremists went too far when they cut open and ate those pheasants alive, and pulled the limbs of that pig using ropes.
Make it Takeshima.

Actually, I think that particular protest was over the US military presence or something.
(But the Koreans really just wanted an excuse to torture animals.)

Nice to meet you. I am one Japanese who lives in Japan.
The response of honest Japanese Government was too bad for Takeshima.
The nature passes in Kunashirito and Etorofuto in the Hokkaido north and
Takeshima is a situation where the South Korea army has already resided.
