It's what Indians / Pakistani / Bangladeshi are called in the UK.

We had 6% in the last census, gonna be more next time, but 1% of people from East Asia.

The situation is reversed in the US, so the collective noun is more useful to call East Asians "Asians".

Asia itself includes Russia, Israel, Qatar, Kuwait, Azerbaijan etc. so either use is a bit dated on the world stage.
