&gt; Aside from Turkey, Japan, Vietnam, Jordan, and the Philippines, pretty much every single Asian polity is majority pro-Chinese.

China has no military alliance with any country.  But let's look at your list:

Russia - they have their own Russian interests and fear a rising China as well since a rising China is a threat to Siberia and eastern Russia territorial integrity.

Central Asia "stans" - they are all within Russian sphere of influence, common language is Russian.

South Korea - they have a military alliance with America and host American troops and bases.

North Korea - They have their own agenda and are playing China and Russia against each other.  They have no loyalty to China.  Kim Jong-Un has yet to meet Xi Jinping because of tensions.

Taiwan - They have a defacto protection of America and use American weapons.  They also hate China and are a defacto independent state.

Mongolia - their client state is Russia not China.

Hong Kong - HKers hate China and CCP

Vietnam - border disputes and they hate China

India - they have border disputes and their GDP is growing faster than China.  India is also playing a defensive game against China by allying with Vietnam, ASEAN, Japan.

Japan - military alliance with America and is rapidly militraising due to Chinese aggression.

Australia - Alliance with America and hosts American military.  They are also deepening ties with Japan and India.

Indonesia - fears Chinese encroachment in SCS and is militarising accordingly.
