N. Korea sends some 90 balloons carrying trash to S. Korea: Seoul's military
TOKYO (Yonhap News) ― Some seven out of 10 Japanese people regard South Korea’s easternmost islets of Dokdo as their territory, with 90 percent being aware of a diplomatic row between the two countries over it, a survey showed Thursday.
According to the survey of 440 Japanese citizens and students on the Dokdo issue, 91 percent said they have heard of Japan’s diplomatic tension with South Korea over Dokdo, the rocky outcroppings in the body of water between the Korean Peninsula and Japan.
Of the respondents, 67 percent said they think the rocky outcroppings are their country’s territory, and 2 percent said the opposite, with 27 percent answering they do not have knowledge about it.
The survey was conducted last year by Kim Mi-kyung, professor at Hiroshima City University in Japan. (Yonhap News)
