Saw an outlet refer to a region as the "Malay Archipelago"

Outside of Academia, does anyone actually use that term for the region anymore?

#Indonesia #Malaysia #Philippines #SEAsia #SoutheastAsia

Reached out to a thinktank that does good #China research while in #SEAsia for a meeting, and was surprised when they never responded.

Saw yesterday them post about a meeting with the #Chinese embassy, and now wondering - is that why?
