[edit] 東中國海 or 中國東海?

Frankly I have never heard of the former. A google test gives more hits for the latter. — Instantnood 22:50, May 1, 2005 (UTC)

Good point! I was sheepishly going with what was there in a previous version. The latter is definitely more common, but the short form 東海 is often enough. --MarkSweep 00:12, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
Agreed~ So should we change the name? (for Chinese only, as for Korean I really have no idea) --Hunter 00:13, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
I already changed the Chinese portion of the table. Don't know about Korean. --MarkSweep 00:22, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] East Sea ⇒ Sea of Japan redirection

It has been proposed that East Sea should redirect to the Sea of Japan page, instead of the current East Sea (disambiguation) page. As concensus will determine this, please discuss it here in Talk:Sea of Japan#East Sea diambiguation page. Thank you.

Note: Wikipedia:Disambiguation policy mandates that if there is risk of confusion, East Sea should redirect to a disambiguation page first.--Endroit 10:27, 5 February 2006 (UTC) Where does it show the depth?

Vietnam's official name for the South China Sea is "East Sea", so it cannot be redirected to Sea of Japan.Phead128 (talk) 23:41, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

[edit] In Korea, East China Sea is 동지나해

In Korea, Korean don't say it is Korean South Sea generally. Of course, area round Ryuku and the east coast of Shanghai is included and called as "동지나해". But not this article(2007/Feb/19) is saying "In Korean, sometime" call it as "남해". In my opinion, description should be like this: East China sea is facing Korea's 'South Sea'(남해,Nam Hae) at northside and continue to Yellow Sea. --61.82.88.1 07:46, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Additional information regarding China - Japan conflict in East China Sea

The article could also include additional background on these EEZ disputes between China and Japan in relation to undersea oil reserves as well; it would appear these have been in dispute for decades. Also perhaps include commentary on recent attempts at conciliation, late 2007,with talks planned between the Chinese Premier and Japanese Prime Minister over these issues.Shaz08 (talk) 03:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] East China Sea is East Sea

East China Sea should be called "East Sea" as it is known in China. Or map should say East China Sea (East Sea). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.176.214.225 (talk) 10:48, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Vietnam's official name for the South China Sea is "East Sea" and Korea's official name for the Sea of Japan is the "East Sea", so it's better to specifically say "East China Sea". Plus, you cannot put it in paratheses unless the name is disputed by multiple nations according to IHO.Phead128 (talk) 23:43, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
