Tokutei Asia
Tokutei Asia (特定アジア, tokutei Ajia, abbr. Toku-A (特ア), literally "specific-(East) Asia") is a term used on Japanese Internet forums for East Asian countries with certain anti-Japanese sentiment or involvement in political tensions and disputes with Japan, namely, South Korea, North Korea, and China.[1] Taiwan is usually considered to be a Japanophile country with its colonial relations with Japan in the late 19th and the 20th century. Hong Kong and Macau, which are part of China, but to varying degrees govern their own affairs, are usually not included within the term.[citation needed]
The term "Tokutei Asia" is used by Japanese internet users who don't like South Korea, North Korea and China. It's generally regarded as a disparaging term so use is limited to certain right wing circles.[2]
