I can answer that; 1. until fairly recently in history, Chinese did not think of themselves as being part of Asia; outside diasporas Chinese rarely introduce themselves as "Asian" instead of simply "Chinese", and 2. the phrase 东亚 unfortunately is reminiscent of a phrase that ends with "Co-prosperity Sphere". | |
