Angry civic group members burn Japan’s imperial national flag and Japan’s new middle school teaching guides at a demonstration against Japan’s territorial claim to the Dokdo Islets in front of Japanese Embassy in Seoul on July 15. Tokyo announced on July 14 that it would refer in the revised middle school social studies teaching guide to the islands (Takeshima in Japan) as Japanese territory. South Korea stepped up patrols near the desolate volcanic islets in the East Sea and recalled its ambassador to Japan in anger at the claim. [NEWSIS]
