Looking through the 'other languages' links it seems that the sea is called the South China Sea in nearly every language that is written in the latin or cyrillic alphabets.

Alright, since this seems to be a hard thing for some to grasp...

Some Britishs use the word "loo" for bathroom.
Almost all Americans use the word bathroom/toilet/restroom/lavatory.

Are you going to tell the British person that he is wrong and silly for using the word "loo"?

I never said they were "wrong and silly".

well the books I read when I was in school were not in french.  I have never been in school in France or a France affiliated country either.  so I guess we were wrong to call it Indochina.  on second thought you are just being silly  .

You did.

That's not the issue. The issue is that China tries tells Vietnam and the Philippines that their "East Sea/West Philippine Sea" is wrong. And that's what got both nations pizz off (among other things). Had they left it alone and didn't boast that "SouthChina Sea" was the "right" name, there would've been no quarrel.

I personally don't care what the English language calls that area of the world is, just so long as the people who uses the terms "South China Sea" and "Indochina" realizes that that is not the name of the region that people uses.

China actually calls the other countries through diplomatic channels to tell them what to call that ocean?????  Or do they spam them through email and make their peasants call other countries in a phone solicitation kinda-thingy?  Dude, are you nuts?  You made that up, lmao.  A "tiger" doesn't care about the opinions of sheep.
