Asia is the only continent to be washed by three oceans and can be divided into 5 regions: Central Asia, Eastern Asia, South Asia, Western Asia and Southeast Asia.
The Asian economy encompasses the activity of 4.2 billion people, equal to 60% of the world population.
China, the second largest economy on the planet, is the primary engine of the Asian economy.
