Taiwan is not really Christian, Taiwan is supported in the same way as Pakistan is supported, to maintain a balance of power and/or to create a thorn in the side of a giant nation to keep them occupied.

According to the CIA factbook,
Religions:
Definition Field Listing
mixture of Buddhist, Confucian, and Taoist 93%, Christian 4.5%, other 2.5%

I think your theory will definetly apply in the case of the Phillipines, which is the evangelical role model for a Christian Asia, and also highly unlikely to happen.

BTW: I remember a BBC survey earlier this year, which showed world opinion on India, the most anti-India country besides Pakistan was the Phillipines. The Christian fanatics are very anti-Hindu and like to get into other people's business just as much as radical Islam.
