Space has never been a neutral geographical container; rather, it is a political field continuously produced and reshaped, long bearing the weight of external naming, colonial discourse, and geopolitical projections. “Asia” is precisely such a regional concept that has been constantly constructed through the interplay of knowledge and power. Historically, the concept of the “Orient” emerged from a Eurocentric colonial perspective, representing the West’s othering imagination of the non-Western world during its global expansion. The rise of the “Indo-Pacific” concept reflects the United States’ hegemonic attempt to reshape its alliance system and strategic order through geopolitical positioning. In contrast, the contemporary reproduction of the concept of “Asia” embodies the awakening of regional autonomy and civilizational subjectivity. Driven by the rise of civilizational nations like China and anchored by regional cooperation platforms such as ASEAN and the Boao Forum For Asia, the concept of “Asia” has gradually transcended its colonial and hegemonic logic, evolving into a vision of order characterized by inclusivity and openness. In this sense, the “Asia” concept constitutes both a discursive reflection on and a corrective to Orientalism and a recontextualization of the “Indo-Pacific” framework. It is no longer a named “other” but a subject redefining itself within the global knowledge system. The practical experiences and civilizational resources embedded in the “Asia” concept are driving a shift in thought beyond Western modernity, pointing toward a more inclusive and autonomous order.
