Explanation

Southeast Asia occupies a unique position geographically and culturally. It lies adjacent to China (sharing borders and experiencing Chinese cultural influence through trade and migration), while having deep cultural ties to India through religion (Hinduism, Buddhism), language (Sanskrit influence), and trade. Countries like Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, and Vietnam show this blend clearly.
