Should the world refer to the Sea of Japan by a different name? |
What would an acceptable international name be? Obviously calling it the East Sea would not work because it is too localized a name. But why should it be Korea Sea? Obviously Japan is the dominant one between the two. Its defensive military is stronger than the ROKs offensive one. Korea did not kick Japan off the peninsula in 1945, the US did. Actually,Japanese officials were kept in place for quite some time due to lack of qualified Korean replacements. Name means a lot if not everything. Korea sea. Alot of my adult Korean students did not care for Japan. This was also a huge reason why. Especially since the island of Dokdo has been argued over between Japan and Korea for years. Korea actually has coast guard surrounding the island to make sure Japan doesn't try to take it from them. Japan invaded Korea and it wasn't until 1945 that Korea finally kicked them out. (No offense to Japanese people) By the way most of the young Koreans spell their country "Corea" because they hate the fact that the J in Japan comes before the K. hm, 鞖鸽霃?Ulleungdo as well as 霃呺弰 Dokdo is in the 霃欗暣 (Dong-heh / East Sea).. I'm not saying the name should be changed to 'Korea Sea', but it shouldn't remain as the 'Sea of Japan' either - just doesn't seem fair. i think that the name should be changed. I think it should stay "Sea of Japan." |
