Same for Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)
These are the issues one can expect when one is dependent on foreign country companies for any services, it comes with their world view. Similar if you would be using services from other countries that are interested in how their image is seen from the other side.
I personally don’t mind they can name things to what ever they want, but you as a user should always be aware of who is the owner of the platform and it’s indirect message. I do not call Germany, Deutschland or will also have an issue with Macedonia in Greece or Nepal in China.
It is just a petty thing to do that makes that orange mandarin look like a person with huge issues that many of us left at the age of 10.
