This really has nothing to do with the WWII related issues between Japan and SKorea. It is a legitimate WTO issue and it's the proper forum to seek resolution. The media of course do their best to tie it all into the never-ending -story although they failed to insert the words "brutal occupation" into this article. But it does beg the question as to whether both Japan and SKorea are taking China to the WTO over the same issue as China dwarfs both countries' shipbuilding capacity.

The pro-Korean sentiment in this paragraph speaks volumes about the "normalised" anti-Japan propaganda which is seemingly accepted as part of journalism these days. Well let's break it down shall we....

Thank you for putting it straight. Saves me some time to do it, great detailed job!

Please also contact other international news agencies to inform them about their misstatements, which are taken over unchanged by many newspapers unaware of the wrong content. Often They don't even realize they're wrong.

I had success with a couple of papers already to not just copying SK views anymore but e.g. to actually call the Sea of Japan by its name instead of East Sea and Liancourt Rocks instead of Dokdo. Sometimes you can't blame the agencies for making mistakes since SK net activists are very industrious to use any kind of publication possibility to change the view. For example in public map services like OSM, which is used as a basis for many international free map products, the Liancourt Rocks and Sea of Japan are altered to Korean names only in any language, to not even allow the Japanese name for explicitly marked Japanese textfields.

Unfortunately Japan ist too decent in this matter for decades, not able to fight back as sneaky since it simply is sincere.
