Answer: What is East Asian Games mean?

The East Asian Games was a multi-sport event organized by the East Asian Games Association (EAGA) and held every four years from 1993 to 2013. Among those who competed included athletes from East Asian countries and territories of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), as well as the Pacific island nation of Guam, which is a member of the Oceania National Olympic Committees.

The East Asian Games was one of five subregional Games of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA). The others are the Central Asian Games, the South Asian Games, the Southeast Asian Games (or SEA Games), and the West Asian Games.

It ended after the 2013 tournament. Instead, the East Asian Youth Games had a plan to start in Taichung, Taiwan in 2019 but failed. The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) plans to revive the East Asian Games, after the cancellation of the 2019 East Asian Youth Games due to the 2018 Taiwanese referendum, where one of the questions inquired whether Taiwan should participate in Olympics using the name, "Taiwan", instead of Chinese Taipei. The vote was eventually vetoed by the Taiwanese voters, but the game was officially cancelled regardless due to the Chinese government exerting political pressures over the Olympic Council.
