Ἀπόλλων;3153303 said:Amid the escalating dispute over territorial waters in the South China Sea, China’s rivals are toying with a simple idea: change the name of the sea.
A petition drive from Vietnam to change the South China Sea’s name to the Southeast Asia Sea is gaining followers. Meanwhile, the Philippines has another proposal.
“When people keep referring to the South China Sea, there is a subliminal message that this sea belongs to a country whose name appears in the name,” Commodore Miguel Jose Rodriguez, Armed Forces spokesman, said recently, according to the Philippines Inquirer. “We in the Philippines should call it West Philippine Sea.”
In ancient time chinese call the sea belong to Vietnam Jiaozhi Sea, Jiaozhi was old name of Viet, in fact chinese accepted sea and Islands belong to Vietnam. Jiaozhi name is came from Kochi, the word called by Southern Asia people to the Vietnamese. The root of this word is Kochi. our self, we call our sea as East Sea from ancient time.
