Another SisterTrope to WesternTerrorists and AfricanTerrorists, they are terrorists who have their base of operations in the Far Eastern part of the Asian continent (which is made up of South/Southeast and East Asia), where they conduct operations against domestic/foreign governments and interests. They can also be based in other places, but are primarily made up (the majority at least) of individuals who are of Far East Asian origin. Like AfricanTerrorists, they are sometimes used by a well-funded criminal/terrorist organization as [[{{Mook}} mooks]], usually [[WesternTerrorists by a Western man (or woman)]]. Otherwise, they may be led by a Middle Eastern terrorist.
In other instances, Far East Asian terrorists are either TerroristsWithoutACause, LaResistance or are placed under YourTerroristsAreOurFreedomFighters. Depending on circumstances, they may be tied in some way with with RuthlessForeignGangsters. While in other circumstances, they may be an individual or a few persons of Far East Asian origin who operate as a lone wolf-type terrorist. There is a possibility that they can be placed in UnfortunateImplications with a case of YellowPeril for terrorists who are of East Asian origin.
Creators can draw inspiration from RealLife sources and cases where terrorism has occurred in the Far East, such as communist or nationalist groups. In other cases, they also include religious terrorist groups in the region.
Compare WesternTerrorists, which consists of terrorists who are born/raised in Western countries from the Americas to Europe, including Australia and New Zealand, and AfricanTerrorists, which consists of terrorists who are born/raised in the African continent.

* Takes a parody twist in the first season of ''Series/HikoninSentaiAkibaranger'' when Blatantly Evil Marketing Firm B's Dr. Z changes the group's name to the Delusion Empire, which is a shout out to Shocker of the Showa-era ''Franchise/KamenRider'' series.
* For the ''[[Series/{{Iris}} IRIS]]'' and ''[[Series/AthenaGoddessOfWar Athena: Goddess of War]]'' series, South Korean law enforcement and intelligence agencies taken on the Korean branches of Iris and Athena, the former for conducting terror attacks to prevent the North and South Korean government from conducting attempts on peace talks for Iris to profit from another future Korean War and the latter for the South Korean government's stance on creating indigenous nuclear technology and selling it abroad via technology transfer, ruining chances of Athena to gain revenue from buying and selling energy resources aside from contractor services and resource management.
* When ''Franchise/KamenRider'' was first broadcasted in the Showa era, most of the enemies of the Kamen Riders are Japanese branches of various terrorist groups such as Shocker, Gel-Shocker, Destron, Geddon, Government of Darkness, followed by Black Satan and Neo-Shocker (which is just another attempt to resurrect Shocker from Japanese soil) and the Delza Army (created from remnants of Black Satan). Averted with Geldam (they merged with Shocker to create Gel-Shocker), the Garanda Empire (created from remnants of Geddon), the Dogma Kingdom and Jin Dogma (they came from space), Gorgom (just a cult) and the Crisis Empire (also aliens from space). Also averted with much of the Heisei era since most of them are evil corporations, demons, magical beings, aliens, individuals given superhuman/monster powers via technology or rogue government units and supersoldiers with the exception of [=NEVER=], which is a terrorist group comprised of undead supersoldiers.

* In ''VideoGame/SoulHackers'', the Spookies are publicly accused as cyberterrorists after they discover that the Phantom Society is responsible for the events in the game. This is because the group were able to pull the strings in the government in order to do this.
* A few of them are minor antagonists in ''VideoGame/RainbowSix'', as [=RAINBOW=] deals with them in anti-terror operations. Examples include Kang Revolutionaries in China and the Red Sun Brigade in America, which is an {{Expy}} of the Japanese Red Army with more money to launch bold terror attacks worldwide.
* In all of the ''[[Franchise/StreetFighter Street Fighter games]]'' (and countless other adaptations), Shadoloo (or Shadowlaw) is a Thai-based terrorist organization led by the mysterious M. Bison.

* Somehow played straight and averted in the Indonesian graphic novel comic ''Kutemukan Makna Jihad'' (''I found the meaning of Jihad'' in English), which [[TruthinTelevision tells the story of Nasir Abas]], a Jemaah Islamiyah terrorist [[HeelFaceTurn/ComicBooks who reformed to being an anti-Islamic terrorist advocate]] after being arrested by Indonesian National Police officers in the aftermath of the 2002 bombing attacks in Bali.
* Averted in ''ComicStrip/PugadBaboy'' since Ka Noli is a heroic New People's Army guerrilla who helps his neighbors, especially his Air Force friend Tomas, when they're in trouble by using his [=NPA=] connections. It doesn't stop some of his comrades from acting like DirtyCommunists.
* ''ComicBook/{{Tintin}}''
** ''[[Recap/TintinTheBlueLotus The Blue Lotus]]'' has one for Mitsuhirato, a Japanese man based in Shanghai as he sabotaged railways in China on behalf of ultranationalist officials in the Japanese military and government, which sparked the Mukden Incident. [[spoiler:Although he also works alongside Rastapopoulos and the Kih-Oskh Brotherhood to conduct opium smuggling operations in the country.]]
** Averted with the Sons of the Dragons as they are a legitimate resistance movement against Japanese occupation and the drug trade. Though to be fair, the Japanese (and their collaborators) will address the [=SOD=] as "insurgents".
[[AC:{{Film}}]]
* The terrorist group Red Bamboo is treated as a minor antagonist in a few {{Franchise/Godzilla}} movies.
* In ''Film/OlympusHasFallen'', Kang Yeonsak is the terrorist of a North Korean-backed terrorist group called Koreans for United Freedom or [=KUF=] for short. The movie doesn't elaborate if they are made up of North Koreans, pro-North Koreans or Korean-speaking mercenaries.
[[AC:LiveActionTV]]
* In ''Creator/DaveChappelle's'' sketch "Why Terrorists Don't Take Black Hostages", he enacts a typical hostage taking where the terrorist yells in broken English and stereotypically Middle-Eastern accent--then off-handedly remarks that the terrorist is Chinese.
* In ''Series/HawaiiFive0'', Steve and Danno get involved in a case where the kidnapping of a State Department official's child was planned by terrorists from the National Liberation Front, which is an {{Expy}} of the New People's Army, the armed military wing of the underground Communist Party of the Philippines.
* Takes a parody twist in the first season of ''Series/HikoninSentaiAkibaranger'' when Blatantly Evil Marketing Firm B's Dr. Z changes the group's name to the Delusion Empire, which is a shout out to Shocker of the Showa-era ''Franchise/KamenRider'' series.
* For the ''[[Series/{{Iris}} IRIS]]'' and ''[[Series/AthenaGoddessOfWar Athena: Goddess of War]]'' series, South Korean law enforcement and intelligence agencies taken on the Korean branches of Iris and Athena, the former for conducting terror attacks to prevent the North and South Korean government from conducting attempts on peace talks for Iris to profit from another future Korean War and the latter for the South Korean government's stance on creating indigenous nuclear technology and selling it abroad via technology transfer, ruining chances of Athena to gain revenue from buying and selling energy resources aside from contractor services and resource management.
* When ''Franchise/KamenRider'' was first broadcasted in the Showa era, most of the enemies of the Kamen Riders are Japanese branches of various terrorist groups such as Shocker, Gel-Shocker, Destron, Geddon, Government of Darkness, followed by Black Satan and Neo-Shocker (which is just another attempt to resurrect Shocker from Japanese soil) and the Delza Army (created from remnants of Black Satan). Averted with Geldam (they merged with Shocker to create Gel-Shocker), the Garanda Empire (created from remnants of Geddon), the Dogma Kingdom and Jin Dogma (they came from space), Gorgom (just a cult) and the Crisis Empire (also aliens from space). Also averted with much of the Heisei era since most of them are evil corporations, demons, magical beings, aliens, individuals given superhuman/monster powers via technology or rogue government units and supersoldiers with the exception of [=NEVER=], which is a terrorist group comprised of undead supersoldiers.
* In both ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' and ''Series/NCISLosAngeles'', [=NCIS=] agents deal with Abu Sayyaf Group terrorists as a minor antagonist group as they were involved in anti-American terror attacks, one of them being successful.
* In ''Series/NowAndAgain'', a recurring arc dealt with "the Egg Man", an older Asian man who specialized in deadly gassing via infected eggs which he'd leave in subway cars. When the egg falls off the seat, a poison gas is released. But the series ended before any kind of payoff could ensue.
* The final episode of ''Series/SeaQuestDSV'' introduces the Chao-Dai (or Chaodai), a group of highly skilled subfighters with highly advanced technology. They seem to be regarded as terrorists by the UEO and Macronesians, but very little is known about them.
[[AC:VideoGames]]
* Seemingly played/averted with ''VideoGame/Persona4Arena'' when the terrorists who hijack a Japan Airline Network flight appear to be lone wolves, [[spoiler:until it's revealed that they were just ordinary civilians brainwashed to do the hijacking with air guns by "The Malevolent Entity".]]
* In ''VideoGame/SoulHackers'', the Spookies are publicly accused as cyberterrorists after they discover that the Phantom Society is responsible for the events in the game. This is because the group were able to pull the strings in the government in order to do this.
* A few of them are minor antagonists in ''VideoGame/RainbowSix'', as [=RAINBOW=] deals with them in anti-terror operations. Examples include Kang Revolutionaries in China and the Red Sun Brigade in America, which is an {{Expy}} of the Japanese Red Army with more money to launch bold terror attacks worldwide.
* In all of the ''[[Franchise/StreetFighter Street Fighter games]]'' (and countless other adaptations), Shadoloo (or Shadowlaw) is a Thai-based terrorist organization led by the mysterious M. Bison. They engage in various criminal activities such as arms and drug smuggling in order to gain revenue for the organization to sustain itself financially.
