The «Far East» has been criticized as being Eurocentric, in which European standards are considered the norm against which all things are judged against.

What Is The Far East?

The Far East is a term used to describe the geographical, economic, and cultural area that encompasses Eastern Russia (Siberia in particular), East Asia, and Southeast Asia. In some instances, Pacific island nations are also included as part of the Far East. Use of this phrase dates back to 12th century Europe, when the ruling class, explorers, traders, and travelers took an eastern route to reach this area. It became common practice to call this region the Far East because it is the farthest of the 3 Eastern Asian regions, which are the: Near East, the Middle East, and the Far East. During the reign of the British Empire, the term became popular and was used to refer to any area east of British India.

Cultural Context Of The Far East

In addition to having a geographical context, the term Far East also refers to specific shared cultural traits. This shared culture explains why Australia and New Zealand, which are located further east from Europe than any other country, are not considered part of the Far East location. The use of this phrase is believed to have a connotation of being exotic in comparison with European cultures. It is because of this that the term is criticized by some as Eurocentric, by placing Europe at the center of the map and referring to other countries and the “East” or “West”. Additionally, the idea that the Far East encompasses a somehow more exotic lifestyle and culture suggests that European culture is the norm against which all other cultures should be compared. Despite this Eurocentrism, the term is still widely used across most media outlets.

Which Countries Are In The Far East?

The following countries are considered to be located in the Far East: China, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, North Korea, South Korea, Mongolia, Siberia, Taiwan, Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Malaysia, Laos, Indonesia, Myanmar, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Economy Of The Far East

The economy of the Far East, sometimes referred to as simply East Asia, is considered one of the fastest growing in the world. This region has a wealth of natural resources and low-cost labor that have allowed the economies here to flourish. Additionally, recent political changes have created a friendlier environment for private investors and business owners. These policies have increased foreign trade, government revenue, and public education.

The first successful Far East economy was Hong Kong, while it was still a British colony. In the 1960’s, this country developed its textile and manufacturing industries and 10 years later, it became an important global financial center. Industrialization next occurred in South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore. The economy of Macau also began developing, with a focus on textiles and gambling centers. These areas drew in significant foreign investments and by 2007, Macau became the number 1 destination in the world for gambling.

Today, five of the countries within the Far East economies are considered to have a developed status. These countries include: South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan. China has the largest economy (the 2nd largest in the world) and currently has the largest potential for growth.

In European terminology,[1] the Far East is the geographical region that encompasses the easternmost portion of the Asian continent, including East, North (particularly the Russian Far East) and Southeast Asia.[2] South Asia is sometimes also included for economic and cultural reasons.[3][4]

The term first came into use in European geopolitical discourse in the 15th century, particularly the British, denoting the Far East as the «farthest» of the three «Easts», beyond the Near East and the Middle East.[5] Likewise, during the Qing dynasty of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the term «Tàixī (泰西)» – i.e., anything further west than the Arab world – was used to refer to the Western countries.

Since the mid-20th century, the term has mostly gone out of use for the region in international mass media outlets due to its eurocentric connotations.[6][7][8] The Russian Far East is sometimes excluded due to cultural and ethnic differences.[9]

Popularization[edit]

Among Western Europeans, prior to the colonial era, Far East referred to anything further east than the Middle East. In the 16th century, King John III of Portugal called India a «rich and interesting country in the Far East[10] (Extremo Oriente).» The term was popularized during the period of the British Empire as a blanket term for lands to the east of British India.

In pre-World War I European geopolitics, Near East referred to the relatively nearby lands of the Ottoman Empire, Middle East denoted north-western South Asia and Central Asia, and the Far East meant countries along the western Pacific Ocean and eastern Indian Ocean. Many European languages have analogous terms, such as the French (Extrême-Orient), Spanish (Lejano Oriente), Portuguese (Extremo Oriente), German (Ferner Osten), Italian (Estremo Oriente), Polish (Daleki Wschód), Norwegian (Det fjerne Østen) and Dutch (Verre Oosten).

Cultural and geographic meaning[edit]

Significantly, the term evokes cultural as well as geographic separation; the Far East is not just geographically distant, but also culturally exotic. It never refers, for instance, to the culturally Western nations of Australia and New Zealand, which lie even farther to the east of Europe than East Asia itself. This combination of cultural and geographic subjectivity was well illustrated in 1939 by Robert Menzies, a Prime Minister of Australia. Reflecting on his country’s geopolitical concerns with the onset of war, Menzies commented that: «The problems of the Pacific are different. What Great Britain calls the Far East is to us the Near North.»[11]

Far East, in its usual sense, is comparable to terms such as the Orient (Latin for «East»), Eastern world, or simply the East, all of which may refer, broadly, to East and South-East Asia in general. Occasionally, albeit more in the past, the Russian Far East and South Asia have been deemed to be part of the Far East.

Commenting on such terms, John K. Fairbank and Edwin O. Reischauer (both professors of East Asian Studies at Harvard University) wrote, in East Asia: The Great Tradition:

When Europeans traveled far to the east to reach Cathay, Japan and the Indies, they naturally gave those distant regions the general name ‘Far East.’ Americans who reached China, Japan and Southeast Asia by sail and steam across the Pacific could, with equal logic, have called that area the ‘Far West.’ For the people who live in that part of the world, however, it is neither ‘East’ nor ‘West’ and certainly not ‘Far.’ A more generally acceptable term for the area is ‘East Asia,’ which is geographically more precise and does not imply the outdated notion that Europe is the center of the civilized world.[8]

Today, the term remains in the names of some longstanding institutions, including the Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok, Far Eastern University in Manila, the Far East University in South Korea, and Far East, the periodical magazine of the Missionary Society of St. Columban. Furthermore, the United States and United Kingdom have historically incorporated Far East in the names of several military units and commands in the region, such as the British Royal Navy’s Far East Fleet, for instance.

WHAT DOES THE FAR EAST MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Far East

The Far East is an English term mostly describing East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Russian Far East 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 the Far East 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.
