Protestors in Seoul have been throwing eggs and tomatoes at the Japanese Embassy, and the Seoul subway system was forced to remove advertisements for Japanese condoms, according to a report out today on BBC. The protests stem from renewed Japanese claims to the disputed islands of Dokdo, called Takeshima in Japan.

South Korea has also recalled its envoy to Japan over the Dokdo issue.

Meanwhile, Cambodia has deployed 800 troops to the Preah Vihear temple complex, while Thailand has more than 400 just across the border.

Perhaps the biggest dispute of all involves the Spratly Islands, located in the South China Sea. Not two, not three, but six different countries have made formal or constructive claims to the cluster of islets: China, Vietnam, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Brunei. China and Vietnam seem to be reaching a consensus on the issue... but that leaves four other claims unresolved.
