This division looks heavy on religion while a bit light on national identity. Some people don't regard religion as central to their cultural identity. Japan is closer to the US than it is accepted by its Asian neighbors. Taiwan might share a Sinic root with China, but it seeks independence. South Korea definitely do not want to be grouped with either China or Japan.
Mongolia and Tibet should be seperate entities. Mongolia might have more in common with some former USSR republics rather than southeast Asia.
