China siezes Japanese textbooks with Taiwan a different map color
EFLThe seizure of Japanese textbooks showing Taiwan and the Chinese mainland in different colours was in accordance with Chinese law, the Foreign Ministry said yesterday. Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao told a regular press conference in Beijing that Chinese customs in April seized 15 geography textbooks ordered by a Japanese school in Dalian as they violated Chinese regulations on customs management and publishing. He said customs returned the books to their sender and would continue to deal with similar situations in the same way. My friend got a magnetic map of China with the different provinces. I asked him, "Where'd the Taiwan piece go?" He grinned and replied, "Whoops, must have lost that one." Posted by: gromky 2005-06-30 |
