Had Enough Tokdo Yet?

Time Asia does a spot-on summary, if you can bear it.

According to a report by Peter Beck, the Northeast Asia project director for the International Crisis Group, “One would be hard pressed to find a single Korean over the age of five willing to admit that control of Dokdo does not matter.” By contrast, says Hideshi Takesada, a professor of Korean politics at Japan’s National Institute for Defense Studies, “most people in Japan have no knowledge of the issue,” and little appreciation of how deep Korean resentment runs.

Thank you. And next time, more bee-man!

P.S. Did anyone out there know that two people really do live there?
