The Far East is also called East Asia, it is located to the east of the Asian continent and covers a territory that occupies an area of about 12 million km2, home to the populations of China (1.3 billion), Japan (126.9 million), South Korea (49 million), Korea North (23 million), Taiwan (23 million), Hong Kong (6 million), Mongolia (2 million) and Macau (450 thousand).
This portion of Asia has, in large part of the territory, a temperate climate, due to its geographic location, since it is cut by the Tropic of Cancer. This climatic characteristic is not part of the reality of a southern portion of China and Taiwan, as both are under influence of the torrid or intertropical zone of the Earth, which receives a greater amount of sunlight, presenting higher temperatures high.
In East Asia there are two of the few remaining countries of the socialist system: China and North Korea, remembering that the Chinese economy it has already changed its configuration a lot and has been moving more and more away from the principles of socialism and closer to the principles capitalists. Some countries, such as Macau, had their respective territories annexed and administered by the Chinese government, becoming administrative regions.
In the Far East is the country with the largest population in the world, China, with approximately 1.3 billion inhabitants, a significant number given that the absolute world population is about 7.2 billion.
