    What was the Bamboo Curtain?

    Question #90623. Asked by author. (Jan 02 08 8:52 AM)


    BRY2K

    		The Bamboo Curtain was the east Asian version of the Iron Curtain. It marked the border around the communist states of East Asia, especially the People's Republic of China during the Cold War, but excluding the eastern Soviet Union. The term was less often applied to the border between North and South Korea or the flexible border between Communism and the west in Southeast Asia.

    		The term "Bamboo Curtain" was used less often than the term "Iron Curtain" in part because while the latter remained relatively static for over 40 years, the former shifted constantly.
