remark the name of 'Sea of Japan' as its own original name, 'East Sea.'

Created by J.J. on January 04, 2013

A lot of American school books have already been marked 'East Sea' as 'Sea of Japan' and the students who have learned with those books might know the 'East Sea' as 'Sea of Japan' which is totally wrong name. Please remark the name of the sea as its own original name. Plus, Apple has marked 'Dokdo' (one of our South Korean islands located in the East Sea) as in both names, 'Dokdo', the right name, and 'Takeshima', the false name declared as real one by the Japanese.
Koreans, we already have lost a lot of our history, historical arts, our land (now belongs to China because Japan sold it to them when we were the colony of Japan) and many the other things. I ask the USA government to read my petition and recheck the work of marking the name of the sea.
Thank you.
