The East China Sea is your answer, but if you'd asked about Korea and the Shandong Peninsula (north of Shanghai), it would be the Yellow Sea. And enclosed by the Shandong and Liaodong Peninsulas (still further north) is the Bo Hai Gulf.

These three bodies of water -- the Bo Hai, the Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea -- are all connected, and you could say they all form one body of water.

But there are significant differences. The Bo Hai is a "mediterranean" sea nearly enclosed by land, while the southernmost, the East China Sea, is a "marginal" sea more open to the ocean and more affected by ocean currents. The Yellow Sea is somewhere in between the two.

All three of these bodies of water are relatively shallow because they're part of the Asian continental shelf. The volcanic Ryukyu island chain constitutes the border between the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. They were formed by the subduction of the Pacific Plate under the East Asian Plate. There's a deep oceanic trench just off the Ryukyus.
