U.S should withdraw its support for using a particular nation’s name (Sea of Japan) on the shared international maritime area between Japan and South Korea at the IHO meeting in April.
Because,
1. If U.S supports the name Sea of Japan, it can possibly lead to a nuclear war in Northeast Asia.
1) Japan is currently in territorial disputes regarding islands located between Japan and other surrounding countries such as China, Russia and South Korea.
2) Northeast Asia is one of the most concentrated areas of countries with nuclear capabilities (i.e China, Russia, Japan, and North Korea)
2. If Japan uses its name on a shared international maritime area, there will be many countries, who will also try to use their names on such maritime areas. This will lead to major potential disputes.
