The LDS Church has active stake and ward centers throughout Korea and Japan. When given the approval, China will be wide-open for proselyting by Mormon missionaries and other religions.
Several thousand LDS members are in the Philippines as well.
In short, no one, because of ethnicity, culture, color or location, is prohibited to join the church and share in its blessings.

No one is "left out" of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints ("Mormons"). Everyone has the right to know the truth and join the true church... We preach to everyone so that everyone will know the truth... why would we leave out certain ethnic groups? Even if they have a different religion, ethnicity, etc., everyone has a right to know the truth... Why would we exclude anyone from the true Church? (Answer: We wouldn't.)
There is no one excluded from the Church.

Yes, there are plenty of aisian LDS folks, I knew some here in the U.S. And I know there are lots more in places like Japan and South Korea.
There are countries we (and any denomination) are not allowed to preach in, but I'm pretty sure every ethnicity is represented.

no ethnicla group is left out of being LDS, while we might not be able to preach in some countries like Iraq there are "Mormons" everywhere.
