Asia did not switch to the metric system as a whole; rather, individual countries adopted it at different times. For example, Japan officially adopted the metric system in 1869, while China began its transition in the 1950s. Other countries, like India and South Korea, also adopted the metric system in the 20th century, although some traditional units are still in use alongside metric measurements. Overall, the adoption of the metric system across Asia has been a gradual and varied process.

Why did Burma not switch to metric?

Burma (Myanmar) did not switch to the metric system primarily due to historical, cultural, and political factors. The country had a long-standing use of traditional measurement systems, and there was resistance to change among the population. Additionally, the military government that ruled for decades did not prioritize such reforms, focusing instead on maintaining control and stability. As a result, the metric system was largely overlooked despite its global adoption.
