The term came into use in European geopolitical discourse in the 19th century, denoting East Asia as the "farthest" of the three "easts", beyond the Near East and the Middle East. For the same reason, ancient Chinese people called Western countries "Tàixī (泰西)"—i.e. anything further west than the Indian subcontinent. The term is no longer commonly used as it connotes the "orientalism" of the 19th century as described by Edward Said. From the 1960s onward, terms like East Asia and the Orient had become more common. East Asia remains the common term for the region today.
