immigration to east asia
emigration from east asia

Explanation:

To solve this, we first define immigration to East Asia as people coming to East Asia from other regions, and emigration from East Asia as people leaving East Asia to other regions.

• For "A student from Pakistan moves to China to attend medical school", Pakistan is not East Asia, so this is immigration to East Asia.
• For "An American moves to Taipei, Taiwan, to work as an English teacher", America is not East Asia, so this is immigration to East Asia.
• For "A woman from Mongolia moves to Seattle, Washington, to work as a university professor", Mongolia is in East Asia, and she is moving to the US, so this is emigration from East Asia? Wait, no, Mongolia is in East Asia? Wait, the problem says "emigration from East Asia" means people from East Asia leaving. Wait, the options: the two blue boxes for immigration to East Asia should be the ones where people come to East Asia from outside. Wait, let's re - check:
• Immigration to East Asia: People coming to East Asia (China, Taiwan (a part of China)) from non - East Asian regions. So "A student from Pakistan moves to China to attend medical school" (Pakistan is not East Asia, moving to China (East Asia)) and "An American moves to Taipei, Taiwan, to work as an English teacher" (America is not East Asia, moving to Taiwan (East Asia)) are immigration to East Asia.
• Emigration from East Asia: People from East Asia moving out. "A woman from Mongolia moves to Seattle, Washington, to work as a university professor" (Mongolia is in East Asia, moving to US) and "A family with two young children moves from South Korea to Canada to work as farmers" (South Korea is in East Asia, moving to Canada) are emigration from East Asia.

Wait, the original problem has two columns: "Immigration to East Asia" and "Emigration from East Asia". The blue boxes are the four scenarios:

1. A student from Pakistan moves to China to attend medical school.
2. An American moves to Taipei, Taiwan, to work as an English teacher.
3. A woman from Mongolia moves to Seattle, Washington, to work as a university professor.
4. A family with two young children moves from South Korea to Canada to work as farmers.

So:

• Immigration to East Asia (people coming to East Asia from outside East Asia):
• A student from Pakistan (outside East Asia) moves to China (East Asia) → Immigration to East Asia.
• An American (outside East Asia) moves to Taipei, Taiwan (East Asia) → Immigration to East Asia.

• Emigration from East Asia (people from East Asia moving to outside East Asia):
• A woman from Mongolia (East Asia) moves to Seattle, USA (outside East Asia) → Emigration from East Asia.
• A family from South Korea (East Asia) moves to Canada (outside East Asia) → Emigration from East Asia.

Answer:

• Immigration to East Asia:
• A student from Pakistan moves to China to attend medical school.
• An American moves to Taipei, Taiwan, to work as an English teacher.
• Emigration from East Asia:
• A woman from Mongolia moves to Seattle, Washington, to work as a university professor.
• A family with two young children moves from South Korea to Canada to work as farmers.
