  1. far east

    The Far East refers to the easternmost region of the globe, typically including countries such as China, Japan, North and South Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, and other countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia. The term is used in a cultural context and is often associated with historical, social, and cultural ties as well as geographical location. It's called the "Far East" because it is the farthest of the three "East" divisions, the others being the Middle East and the Near East.

  1. Far East

    The Far East is an English term mostly describing East Asia and Southeast Asia, with South Asia sometimes also included for economic and cultural reasons. The term came into use in European geopolitical discourse in the 12th century, denoting East Asia as the "farthest" of the three "easts", beyond the Near East and the Middle East. For the same reason, Chinese people in the 19th and early 20th centuries called Western countries "Tàixī"—i.e. anything further west than the Arab world. The term is less commonly used than in the past as it allegedly connotes the "orientalism" of the 19th century more explicitly than East Asia. Since the 1960s, terms like East Asia and the Orient have become increasingly common. East Asia remains the most common media term for the region today.
