Ok, one last time and then I'm done. Mainstream historians / scholars classify the following civilizations - Western, Chinese (aka Confucian), Hindu (Indian), Islamic, and Eastern Orthodox. Then there are those civilizations which are considered part of the above or branches / cousins - e.g. in the Far East the branchces or cousins of Chinese civilization are Japanese, Vietnamese, and Korean. Just as French, Anglo-Saxon, and German civilizations are considered to be part of the greater Western civilization. Please before you keep going do the research. Point to me a legitimate scholar or source that says "Far East" or "Asian" civilization when describing Chinese civilization (which is also known as Confucian civilization and Sinic civilization, and those that are part of it are known as the Sinosphere)
