So anything west of China and Russia is "the west?" I suppose Japan and Australia are "the west" too since you can get there if you travel west long enough?
No, anything that's a vassal state of the US is the west. And yes, Japan and Australia are understood to be part of the western bloc. This isn't even controversial.
Is "the west" in the room with you right now? Blink twice if so.

You did all that and the link you use as proof doesn’t have Japan or Korea included? Lol
The link I used clearly shows what people mean by the western world, the fact that it doesn't include Japan or Korea isn't the own that you seem to think it is. Of course, I never expect any sort of intelligent response here. lol indeed
