你猜猜我們第一站要從哪裡開始呢？對啦答案都寫在上面了，就是東亞啦。接下來只要我們每到一個區域，就會先有這頁區域介紹，幫你整理這一區的觀察重點，開啟一整週的好心情（欸不是）。

東亞的局勢我們再清楚不過了。東亞總共有六個國家，其中三個就列名2020年全世界前十大經濟體（中國2、日本3、南韓10）。這裡有朝鮮半島的核問題、卡在中俄之間的蒙古，以及日本和南韓又要吵架又得合作的矛盾。當然最重要的，還是台灣和中國的關係。知己知彼，就讓我們從台灣所在的東亞開始吧。

Can you guess where our first stop is? Yeah, I know, you have already seen the answer. East Asia it is. 

Going forward, before we visit a region, you will see this page of regional overview first which summarizes key info about this area as a fresh start of your new week. 

I think we couldn’t be more familiar with the dynamics of East Asia. There are six countries in this region, three of which are among the top ten largest economies in the world in 2020, with China ranking number 2, Japan number 3 and South Korea number 10. 

This region sees the nuclear threat of the Korean Peninsula, Mongolia’s struggle between China and Russia and the friend-and-foe relationship between Japan and South Korea. Of course, what matters the most is the relation between Taiwan and China. 

Know yourself and know your neighbor. Let’s start from East Asia where Taiwan belongs.
