'''East Asia''' is a term used to describe the countries [[China]] (the [[People's Republic of China]] and the [[Republic of China]] ([[Taiwan]])), [[Korea]] (North and South) and [[Japan]]. Eastern [[Siberia]] and [[Mongolia]] are sometimes also considered to be part of East Asia. The terms 'Far East' and 'The Orient' are sometimes also used to describe this region, though disapproved of by some on grounds of [[political correctness]].

The old-fashioned terms 'Far East' and 'The Orient' are sometimes also used to describe this region, though disapproved of by some because it takes a European standpoint.
