Japan is again meddling with a sensitive territorial issue,... angering South Korea when there was hope Seoul and Tokyo could work together amid the push for diplomacy with North Korea. <br /> In its official gazette released Friday,... the Japanese government said it's revising guidelines for teaching young Japanese students -- wrongly -- that Dokdo Island in the East Sea is Japanese territory, not Korean.<br />With the announcement,...
