Bamboo Curtain

The Bamboo Curtain was a colourful Cold War expression for the political demarcation between the Communist states of East Asia, particularly the People's Republic of China, and the capitalist and non-Communist states of the region. People in Asian Communist nations were said to be "behind the Bamboo Curtain." The term was derived from "Iron Curtain", a term used widely in Europe from the 1940s to the early '90s to refer to that region's Communist boundaries.
