East Asia - China, Japan & Korea | World Regional Geography with Prof. Jeremy Patrich

Welcome to another Word Regional Geography discussion, this time Professor Jeremy Patrich introduces you to the realm of East Asia - China, Japan and Korea. Don't forget, there are also sample exam questions at the end of the video! East Asia, sometimes defined geographically as Northeast Asia[8] and abbreviated as EA or NEA, is along with Southeast Asia located at the far eastern regions of Asia, which is defined in both geographical and ethno-cultural terms. The modern states of East Asia include China, Japan, Mongolia, North Korea, South Korea, and Taiwan. China, North Korea, South Korea and Taiwan are all unrecognized by at least one other East Asian state due to severe ongoing political tensions in the region, specifically the division of Korea and the political status of Taiwan. Hong Kong and Macau, two small coastal quasi-dependent territories located in the south of China, are officially highly autonomous but are under de jure Chinese sovereignty. East Asia borders Siberia and the Russian Far East to the north, Southeast Asia to the south, South Asia to the southwest, and Central Asia to the west. To the east is the Pacific Ocean and to the southeast is Micronesia (a Pacific Ocean island group, classified as part of Oceania). 🧭 Find The Backyard Geographer Here: 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/calgeog/?hl=en 📧 E-mail: CaliforniaGeographer@gmail.com 🌐 Website: www.BackyardGeographer.com #Geography, #WorldRegional, #EastAsia --------------Content In This Video-------------- 00:00 - Introduction 01:48 - East Asia: Population Density & Relief 02:45 - East Asia: Emerging China 05:15 - East Asia: China's Periphery 06:29 - East Asia: Japan & Korea 09:56 - Test It!
