Far East is an inexact term often
used for East Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia combined,
sometimes including also the easternmost territories of
Russia, i.e., the Russian Far East, and the western Pacific
Ocean region. Far East is sometimes used synonymously with
East Asia, which may be defined in geographic or cultural
terms to Russia's extreme northeast, coastal China, Taiwan,
Japan, both north and south Korea, the Philippines, and
Vietnam. But it commonly encompasses the states and cultures
of Southeast Asia, such as Cambodia, Malaysia, Myanmar,
Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines, and South Asia such
as India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal. |
