Question: The North–South divide includes what Asian countries?
Context: The Four Asian Tigers or Four Asian Dragons, are the wealthy high-tech industrialized developed countries of Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong (China) and South Korea which underwent rapid industrialization, technological innovation and development and also maintained exceptionally high growth rates (in excess of 7-8 percent a year) between the mid-1950s and early 1990s. The Nominal and Purchasing power parity GDP of these four tigers is 2700 billion Dollars and 4145 billion dollars.These four countries invested heavily in their infrastructure as well as in developing the intellectual abilities of their human talent, fostering and retaining their educated population to help further develop and improve their respective countries.  This policy turned out to be so effective that by the late 20th century, all four countries had developed into advanced and high-income industrialized developed countries, developing many different areas of advanced technology that give them a tremendous competitive advantage in the world.  For example, all four countries have become top level global education centers with Singapore, Taiwan, South Korea and Hong Kong (China) high school students consistently outperforming all other countries in the world and achieving the highest top scores on international math and science exams such as the PISA exam and with Taiwan students winning multiple gold medals every year consistently at the International Biology Olympiad, International Linguistics Olympiad, International Physics Olympiad, International Earth Science Olympiad, International Mathematical Olympiad and International Chemistry Olympiad. Several Asian countries have space programs and are actively competing to achieve scientific and technological advancements in space, a situation sometimes referred to as the Asian space race in the popular media as a reference to the earlier Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union.  Like the previous space race, issues involved in the current push to space include national security, which has spurred many countries to send artificial satellites as well as humans into Earth orbit and beyond.  A number of Asian countries are seen as contenders in the ongoing race to be the pre-eminent power in space. In Great Britain, the term North–South divide refers to the economic and cultural differences between Southern England and the rest of Great Britain (Northern England, The Midlands, Wales and Scotland).  The divide cuts through the English Midlands.  Sometimes, the term is widened to include the whole United Kingdom, with Northern Ireland included as part of "the North". Gelidium amansii is an economically important species of red algae commonly found and harvested in the shallow coast (3 to 10 meters or 10 to 33 feet of depth below the water) of many east Asian countries including North and South Korea, China, Japan, Singapore, and northeast Taiwan.  "G. amansii" is an important food source in East Asian countries and has been shown to have medicinal effects on dieting.  This algae is used to make agar, whose components are the polysaccharide agarose and agaropectin, from the large amount of algin which is located in the algae's cell wall, as well it is sometimes served as part of a salad, puddings, jams, and other culinary dishes in producing regions.  Agar is a gelatinous substance that is commercially used as an incubation matrix for microbials and other products that require an ecologically friendly gelatinous matrix.  "Gelidium amansii" can be purple, red, to yellowish red because it contains the class of pigments known as anthocyanins instead of chlorophyll, which is commonly used by photosynthesizing organisms.  Its branching body is cartilaginous and can grow up to a height of 8 to 30 centimeters or 3 to 12 inches.  "G. amansii" may have 4 to 5 opposite compound lobed pinnate leaves on each branch.  "G. amansii" is uniaxial with an apical cell and whorled cells coming from the axial towards the exterior of the algae.  The pith is compacted with apical cells and the epidermis is formed by rounded whorled cells.  "G. amansii" is being studied as a cheap biofuel. The Museum of Asian Art (German: "Museum für Asiatische Kunst" ) is located in the Dahlem neighborhood of the borough of Steglitz-Zehlendorf , Berlin, Germany.  It is one of the Berlin State Museums institutions and is funded by the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation.  It houses some 20,000 Asian artifacts, making it one of the largest museums of ancient Asian art in the world.  The museum is located in the same building as the Ethnological Museum of Berlin.  The museum houses important collections of Art houses of South, Southeast and Central Asian countries and art from the Indo-Asian cultural area, from the 4th millennium BC to the present.  Its geographic reach covers regions in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, the Autonomous Region of Tibet and Xinjiang of the People's Republic of China, the Southeast Asian countries of Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and also the Indonesian Islands or archipelago. The Cinema of Central Asia refers to the cinema of the five Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan).  Central Asian cinema can further be divided into three historical periods, Soviet Central Asian film (1919–1987), a New Wave of Central Asian film (1988–1992), and the modern period of film of the independent Central Asian countries (1992–present). The North–South divide is broadly considered a socio-economic and political divide.  Generally, definitions of the Global North include the United States, Canada, Western Europe, and developed parts of Asia (the Four Asian Tigers, Japan and Israel), as well as Australia and New Zealand, which are not actually located in the Northern Hemisphere but share similar economic and cultural characteristics as other northern countries.  The Global South is made up of Africa, Latin America, and developing Asia including the Middle East.  The North is home to all the members of the G8 and to four of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council. The HTC Butterfly S (stylized as the Butterfly s) is an Android smartphone designed and manufactured by HTC.  It is exclusive to Asian countries and currently has not been officially released in North America or Europe.  The Butterfly S was unveiled on 19 June 2013 for release in Asian markets by July 2013.  It is the successor to the HTC Butterfly (known as the HTC Droid DNA when released in the United States by Verizon Wireless), and incorporates hardware and software features first introduced by the HTC One (such as Sense 5, the UltraPixel image sensor, the Zoe camera features, and dual front-facing stereo speakers), but is distinguished from the One by a larger, 5-inch 1080p display, a larger 3200 mAh battery and a Snapdragon 600 quad-core processor clocked at 1.9 GHz.  The Butterfly S has a shiny plastic unibody compared to the aluminum unibody of the One, and has three capacitive buttons instead of two.  It lacks the optical image stabilization of the One and the waterproofing of the original Butterfly.  It has 16GB of internal storage and a microSD card slot for storage up to 64GB.  The international 901s variant sold in Asian countries such as Singapore and Hong Kong has support for 4G LTE.  The original Taiwanese version (901e) does not have LTE support and is currently available unlocked or on a contract with various carriers (initially only Chunghwa Telecom.  An LTE version for Taiwan was announced in January 2014, following the implementation of LTE by various Taiwanese carriers.  In China, two variants were released, a regular version with a 3200 mAh battery and a dual SIM version with a 2300 mAh battery.  Only the Taiwanese variants officially received Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. Institute of West Asian Studies (IKRAB), is a research institute under Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (The National University of Malaysia).  It was established on October 8, 2007 to conduct academic and policy studies associated with the West Asian region.  In the context of the institute, West Asian region encompasses Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Yemen, Jordan, Libya, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Palestine, Israel, Turkey, Sudan, Egypt, Cyprus, Afghanistan and Iran.  It also includes Pakistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.  Hence the scope of West Asian countries under IKRAB is not limited to Arab states only but includes some countries in Central Asia, South Asia, Mediterranean Europe and North Africa. The Republic of Korea is primarily a source for the trafficking of women and girls within the country and to the United States (often through Canada and Mexico), Japan, Hong Kong, Guam, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Western Europe for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation.  Women from Russia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, the People’s Republic of China (P.R.C.), North Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, Cambodia, and other Southeast Asian countries are recruited to work in South Korea, and a significant number of these women are trafficked for sexual exploitation and domestic servitude.  An increasing challenge for the ROK is the number of women from less developed Asian countries who are recruited for marriage to Korean men through international marriage brokers; a significant number are misled about living conditions, financial status, and expectations of their Korean husbands.  Some, upon arrival in South Korea, are subjected to conditions of sexual exploitation, debt bondage, and involuntary servitude.  Some employers continued to withhold the passports of foreign workers, a practice that can be used as a means to coerce forced labor.  South Korean men continue to be a significant source of demand for child sex tourism in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands.
