of water between korea and japan east sea .

refers to the water by the korean name east sea not the japanese name of
sea of japan. the non-binding resolution was put forward
by republican state senator
david shafer. this comes as the u.s. state of virginia a
waits its lower house's decision on
whether or not to require public schools in virginia to call the water both the
east sea and the sea of japan. korea argues the name sea of japan reflect
s japan's imperialistic past and
that at the very least both names should be used.
