The U.S. state of New York is moving closer to adopting legislation on using two names
to identify the body of water between Korea and Japan.
New York state lawmakers submitted a resolution on Tuesday... that would require all textbooks
in the state to note that the "Sea of Japan" is also referred to as the Korean name "East
Sea." The bill would also require an explanation
of the historical background behind the body of water's name.
Virginia's state legislature passed a similar bill earlier this month.
That only needs Governor Terry McAuliffe's signature before becoming law.
