Siberia is north of China. Also, "Asia" means the continent only. The islands you refer to are known collectively as Oceania. "Southeast Asia" is Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma, Singapore, and I suppose we get to count Malaysia because half of it is in Asia.@Asguard: "China isn't south east Asia, its as far NORTH Asia as you can get, singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and Indoneasia are south east Asia".
This is exactly the same way we do NOT count Cuba, Puerto Rico, Haiti, etc., as being in North America.
On the other hand, the British Isles and Iceland are often counted as parts of Europe, so there's no consistency in geographic naming conventions.
No, hoof-and-mouth disease (its usual name since it is a disease of livestock) is a different disease.Do you mean foot in mouth disease?
