East Asians

Chinese, Japanese, Koreans

East Asians refers to people from or descended from the eastern region of Asia, typically including China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, and Taiwan.

The term is used in demographic, cultural, and anthropological contexts to distinguish this population from South Asians, Southeast Asians, and other Asian groups.

The study focused on health outcomes among East Asians in urban areas.

In casual usage, some speakers incorrectly apply "Asian" to mean only East Asians, erasing other Asian populations.
