China Sends Back 8 Geography Textbooks

From The Yomiuri Shimbun:

Eight geography books seized at Shanghai customs that had been destined for a school for Japanese children residing in China have been sent back to Japan probably because they depicted the disputed Senkaku Islands as belonging to Japan, the Education, Science and Technology Ministry said.

The Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai informed the Shanghai authorities of its dissatisfaction over the return of the books, the ministry said.
