This statement is true. European exploration and colonization in East Asia led to the establishment of cities, the construction of railroads, and the development of seaports. European powers like Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, and Britain constructed ports and trading posts such as Macau, Hong Kong, and Singapore. They also developed rail networks, especially in British-controlled areas like India and Malaysia, which indirectly influenced East Asia. These developments were part of the broader impact of European exploration and colonization on various regions around the world.
